Yes; you are :-)

The problem of the use of a machine setting is the meaning of it. It
says you can change it for every machine and you can't.

Imagine following case:

Machine A - imxgpu3d
Machine B - without imxgpu3d

and consider both are Quad. How qtbase will be build? Both will end on
cortexa9hf_neon_mx6qdl causing the package to be generated with
different contents for A and B. This is the reason I said it end being
machine specific.
