I'd prefer not to have this in Buildroot. The general direction we are
taking (from my point of view) is to try to *reduce* the number of make
targets and the number of ways to use Buildroot, in order to make it
easier/simpler to understand for users.
So just like we removed options whose sole purpose was to rename final
target images, I think we should not add new make targets that should
instead simply be a shell invocation "make clean && make
foobar_defconfig && make". In addition to this, I am not sure your
implementation correctly passes down the O= argument for out-of-tree
builds.
Regards,
Thomas
