Marc, Maxim,

[ Since your question is about Buildroot and has nothing that looks
  private, I took the freedom to copy the Buildroot list again. ]

In the existing Config.in/Makefile.in, there were only options to
select a particular board.

You just need to write a defconfig file for your different boards in
the configs/ directory. Those defconfigs file will select, for each of
your boards, the correct toolchain, bootloader and kernel configuration.

And then your users could do:

	make mywonderfulboard_defconfig
	make

To get a Buildroot build that works for "mywonderfulboard".

If you need any help or have questions about how this would work for
your use cases, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your feedback!

Regards,

Thomas
