[OE-core] Why does building an image for machine X delete the bootloader for machine Y?

[Mike Looijmans]

I do a:

MACHINE=X bitbake my-image

This DEPENDS on a virtual bootloader, which will produce a BOOT.BIN file in 
the deploy directory, which is tmp-glibc/deploy.images/X/

If I then do a:

MACHINE=Y bitbake my-image

the BOOT.BIN in tmp-glibc/deploy.images/X/ is suddenly gone!

If i do a

MACHINE=X bitbake my-image

then the the BOOT.BIN in tmp-glibc/deploy.images/Y/ is suddenly gone, and the 
one for the X machine appears again. The bootloader recipe is not being 
rebuilt at all.

The machines have the same MACHINE_ARCH, they differ on only minor points (the 
FPGA).

What is going on here?
