Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] Supporting a second Barebox build to build the MLO/SPL

Hi Arnout,

What are your thoughts on this?

Thinking out of the box here: would it be possible to keep a single barebox
package and do everything twice (or more) in the _CMDS, with different output directories?

Granted, that will be a bit tricky w.r.t. the kconfig infra.

My initial approach was exactly what you are suggesting. It works fine for compiling the images, but it falls apart on other useful make infrastructure that you would want to run at a finer granularity:

Wanting to build barebox with two configs, you would typically want to run %-menuconfig for each of the two. This is not possible if the two builds are not implemented by two separate packages in the buildroot make environment. It simply ends up not being handy if the two build configurations are not addressable as two separate packages.
