Whilst this patch is good, it papers over the underlying problem as that
variable should never have duplicates in it. For that reason I don't
want to merge it but fix that issue instead. There are two things we
should do here:

a) Merge a fix to remove the duplication (I've done this with a quick
hacky workaround and proposed a better one on the OE Core list as it
needs discussion)
b) Add a sanity test for the PACKAGE_ARCHS variable to detect this
problem in the future.

Cheers,

Richard
