The cross compiler should not be machine specific, that makes no sense.
It seems to me that your problem comes entirely from the introduction of
the machine element into the location of the *architecture* sysroot,
which is not how the OE system is designed to work -- if your sysroot
(i.e., the tmp dir) is in different place for different builds, then
they are entirely separate builds, you should not share sstate between
them. If you want to share the sstate, you need to share the sysroot.

But it might be worth having some sort of sanity checker to catch this
kind of misconfiguration.
