[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] autoconf-archive: inherit allarch and fix package splitting

[Martin Jansa]

Is this during do_rootfs or are you seeing this issue when upgrading on the
target as well?

I haven't found the bug for this but IIRC it's because do_rootfs is using
--prefer-arch-to-version parameter.
meta/classes/package_ipk.bbclass:OPKG_ARGS += "--force_postinstall
--prefer-arch-to-version"
which causes this undesired behavior.
