Another patch had been merged already.

commit 3ad70a599f78f645dc212ef7f5fa49ccce3ef1f7

     linux-yocto-tiny: fix COMPATIBLE_MACHINE

     It only works with qemux86, but mismatched qemux86-64 which caused
     runtime errros. (kernel is bigger, can't boot, no output, and so on).

     Add '$' in the end to fix the problem.
