Are you refererring to the project_build_<arch>/<project> stuff, that
could be used to build variants of a given arch/platform? That was
removed as part of the cleanup work, as it's a fairly specialized setup
and it added a lot of confusion / complexity to the system.

You can use an external toolchain to atleast not need to rebuild the
toolchain (typically the slowest thing to build).

Notice that you can use the O=<path> make argument to put the output
files somewhere else than ouput, which can be handy when you build for
several boards from the same tree.
