This happens when your BUILD_ARCH and your TARGET_ARCH are the same and
its a known issue. Previously Poky worked around this by setting
HOST_VENDOR to TARGET_VENDOR but that causes subtle problems with the
toolchain building (it becomes a Canadian Cross).

I made a change in Poky recently to sdk.bbclass which will probably
help, I'll sync that to OE...
