FWIW I've added new job to my jenkins world builds with will compare
signatures for different MACHINEs and report when native or allarch
signatures are different + different TUNE_PKGARCH signatures for
identical machines with just different name.

It looks like this:
openembedded-core/scripts/sstate-diff-machines.sh --machines="qemuarm qemux86 qemux86copy qemux86-64" --targets=world --tmpdir=tmp-eglibc/;

function compareSignatures() {
  MACHINE1=$1
  MACHINE2=$2
  PATTERN=$3
  PRE_PATTERN=""
  [ -n "${PATTERN}" ] || PRE_PATTERN="-v"
  [ -n "${PATTERN}" ] || PATTERN="MACHINE"
  for TASK in do_configure.sigdata do_populate_sysroot.sigdata do_package_write_ipk.sigdata; do
    printf "\n\n === Comparing signatures for task ${TASK} ===\n"
    diff tmp-eglibc/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE1}/list.M tmp-eglibc/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE2}/list.M | grep ${PRE_PATTERN} "${PATTERN}" | grep ${TASK} > list.${TASK}
    for i in `cat list.${TASK} | sed 's#[^/]*/\([^/]*\)/.*#\1#g' | sort -u | xargs`; do
      [ -e BUILD/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE1}/*/$i/*${TASK}* ] || echo "Task ${i}.${TASK} doesn't exist in ${MACHINE1}" >&2
      [ -e BUILD/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE1}/*/$i/*${TASK}* ] || continue
      [ -e BUILD/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE2}/*/$i/*${TASK}* ] || echo "Task ${i}.${TASK} doesn't exist in ${MACHINE2}" >&2
      [ -e BUILD/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE2}/*/$i/*${TASK}* ] || continue
      printf "\n == Comparing signatures for ${i}.${TASK} ==\n"

      printf "# (R)DEPENDS on \nPACKAGE_ARCH_pn-$i = \"\${MACHINE_ARCH}\"\n";
      bitbake-diffsigs tmp-eglibc/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE1}/*/$i/*${TASK}* tmp-eglibc/sstate-diff/*/${MACHINE2}/*/$i/*${TASK}*;
      echo
    done | tee list.${TASK}.inc
  done
}

# TUNE_PKGARCH should be the same between qemux86 and qemux86copy
compareSignatures qemux86 qemux86copy

# native and allarch should be the same for all MACHINES
compareSignatures qemux86 qemuarm "\(^< all\)\|\(^< x86_64-linux\)"

It needs first patch from jansa/tune2-test branch for qemux86copy MACHINE:
