Thanks.

We already have a *_defconfig make target doing this, so if you rename
the file to buildroot-86_defconfig, then you can simply do:

make buildroot-x86_defconfig

 Terry> setup-arm:
 Terry>     cp configs/buildroot-config-arm ${BROOT}/.config

 Terry> build-x86: setup-x86
 Terry>     make -C ${BROOT} O=${BUILD}/output_x86

 Terry> build-arm: setup-arm
 Terry>     make -C ${BROOT} O=${BUILD}/output_arm

 Terry> This seems to work okay - any comments or warnings?

No, that's fine - I regulary use

make <something>_defconfig; make O=<somewhere>
