 I think you're confusing buildroot with Linux. Buildroot doesn't have a
defconfig for Armada XP as far as I know.

 So you'll have to configure buildroot yourself. Start with selecting
BR2_cortex_a9 for the architecture, configure the toolchain as you like. Then
for the kernel, select an in-tree defconfig and fill in "mvebu_v7" for the
defconfig name. Also select an in-tree device tree and fill in armada-388-gp.

 Thomas Petazzoni actually worked on this board I think. Thomas, why didn't you
submit a defconfig? :-P
