The solution for this, as mentionned by Peter, is to build out-of-tree using O=/path/to/output/directory. Then you can easily switch between several projects without problem. They share the same Buildroot source code, but they have different configurations and different output directories. The old "project" stuff was just duplicating this feature. We had to make a choice between both, and the choice of O= was the one that allowed to make simplifications in Buildroot that make it much easier to use for less advanced users. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any question or find any limitation with the O= scheme.
