I wonder (and I haven't had my coffee nor dug into this much more yet) about using say https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib to have buildman parse all configs/ and then use that information to build what's been asked (depending on how long the reading+parsing takes). If it's relatively quick, that would be a big argument in favour of dropping MAKEALL. -- Tom
