I'm afraid no, please see my last reply, for others such as
MACHINE_OVERRIDES, they never design to work in such a way, so I don't
think that COMPATIBLE_MACHINE should work in this way. If you really
want to match more, I think that you can set it as "(qemux86.*)" or
something familiar.

I checked oe-core, there isn't any wrong when set MACHINE to:
  "qemuarm"
  "qemuarm64"
  "qemumips"
  "qemumips64"
  "qemuppc"
  "qemux86"
  "qemux86-64"

and run bitbake world -g.

Would you please tell me which recipes outside of oe-core relay on this?
I think that we should fix the recipe.
