Is it necessary to define both of those?  bitbake.conf does:

PACKAGE_ARCH = "${BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH}"

so it seems like, if setting B_P_A is the right thing to do, there
should be no need to set PACKAGE_ARCH as well.

I don't understand the semantics of those two variables well enough to
say whether setting BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH here is actually the right thing
or not.  Is there any documentation anywhere which describes what
exactly the relation is meant to be between B_P_A and P_A, and when it's
appropriate to set each of them?
