[oe] [RFC] mysterious armv5te-linux dir under staging

Hi

On hrw's suggestion I looked into the mysterious directory armv5te-linux
creation on my omap5912osk build.

This directory is created by staging tasks for cross packages like
gcc-cross, binutils-cross gdb-cross etc. 

This is because in bitbake.conf we set 

BASEPKG_HOST_SYS = "${BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH}${HOST_VENDOR}-${HOST_OS}"

which is ok for target recipes but its not ok for native or cross
recipes.

It works for native because native.bbclass redefines it. I decided
to change it to 


BASEPKG_HOST_SYS = "${HOST_ARCH}${HOST_VENDOR}-${HOST_OS}"

HOST_ARCH is defined based on -native -target or -cross package
so it works in all cases. Overriding in native.bbclass would not
be needed but I left it in there

Does anyone sees problem with this little patchlet ?

Thanks
