What is your problem with such a setup? You do use "make O=..." then,
don't you?

I would like to avoid having board  specific  information  scapttered
over several files *and* directories. So far, we know that everything
(except for a "few" #ifdef's ;-) is concentrated in board/<name>/ and
include/configs/<name>.h

This is a *very* useful setup, me thinks. [Actually  I'  rather  thae
the <name>.h config file in the board driectpory, too, but that would
make the Makefile (as it is currently) too complicated.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
