OVERRIDES don't work correctly with this. E.g. (bitbake 1.10) a recipe
with

| xx = "default"
| xx_x86_64 = "XX"

results into

| OVERRIDES="...:x86_64:..."
| # xx_x86_64=XX
| xx_x86_64="XX"
| # xx=default
| xx="default"


Adding an additional "x86-64" to OVERRIDES in the machine configuration
and using it by

| xx_x86-64 = "XX"

gives the expected

| # xx_x86-64=XX
| xx_x86-64="XX"
| # xx=XX
| xx="XX"
