That directory level corresponds to MULTIMACH_TARGET_SYS, whose value is
"${PACKAGE_ARCH}${TARGET_VENDOR}-${TARGET_OS}". The first variable
PACKAGE_ARCH has a default value of "${TUNE_PKGARCH}" which makes a recipe
architecture-specific by default. PACKAGE_ARCH is often set in the recipe
in two common cases:

1) Recipes which are packaging something that is not architecture-specific -
these should "inherit allarch" which will automatically set
PACKAGE_ARCH = "all". Note that in this situation you should use
"inherit allarch" rather than setting PACKAGE_ARCH yourself since that is
not the only thing that the allarch class takes care of.

2) Recipes which are packaging something that is machine-specific - these
should set PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}".

Additionally, recipes that are building for the build host rather than the
target machine (*-native) or for the SDK (nativesdk-*) get different values
for  MULTIMACH_TARGET_SYS as well, but this is accomplished by inheriting
the native or nativesdk classes or using BBCLASSEXTEND to create a variant
of the recipe for one or both.

Can you be more precise about what you want to do?

Cheers,
