Ok, say I use tune-ppcXXX and it sets TUNE_PKGARCH:

TUNE_PKGARCH .= "${@bb.utils.contains("TUNE_FEATURES", "ppc603e", "ppc603e", "", d)}"

and I want a multilib config using this as the m32 ABI and also have
powerpc64 as my other multilib. I can't select that as it will get
TUNE_PKGARCH wrong in the 64 bit case since:

TUNE_PKGARCH ?= "${TUNE_ARCH}"

is overwritten. I guess we could do:

TUNE_PKGARCH = "${@bb.utils.contains("TUNE_FEATURES", "ppc603e", "ppc603e", "${TUNE_ARCH}", d)}"

?
