 In order to enable users to recompile qtopia applications on their
 machines, we need to set the build key (see [1,2]), as it is generated
 from (among others) 'uname -m' output, which obviously varies as the
 machine running the build changes. Currently (on packages from [3]) it is
 set to: 'x86_64 Linux g++-4 full-config no-stl'. The attached patch
 modifies the bitbake recipe and fixes this problem.

 Here is the error message one gets when trying to execute an application
 (plugin) on the Neo which was compiled on a machine with a different
 architecture:

 # DISPLAY=:0 addressbook
 Coult not load "/opt/Qtopia/plugins/application/libaddressbook.so"
 errorString() "The plugin
 '/opt/Qtopia/plugins/application/libaddressbook.so' uses incompatible Qt
 library. Expected build key "x86_64 Linux g++-4 full-config no-stl", got
 "i686 Linux g++-4 full-config no-stl""
 addressbook: cannot load application: No such file or directory
