Maybe there's a solution in between. Put packages that really can only
be built one way under build_, and all other packages under
project_build, and then have STAGING_DIR under project_build as well
(with some logic to copy/symlink in the toolchain stuff). Then each
variant could use different versions / configurations of the packages,
and we would still only compile the stuff under build_ once (per
version).
