Hi Carl,

Please don't top post and trim stuff after your message.

Yes, "make clean" destroys buildroot's .config. I have a "bsp" type 
directory with stuff specifically for the project I am working on. I do 
a sym-link from configs/beagleboard_defconfig to my bsp config. Then 
after a make clean I do a "make beagleboard_defconfig" to copy in my 
saved configuration. I also put the linux and u-boot and whatever 
configs in my bsp and point to the appropriate config in the buildroot 
.config. Dont forget to update your bsp config whenever you change 
buildroot with a make menuconfig.
