Yes, I know what savedefconfig does. :)

I'm afraid it's not as easy as that.  The build system I'm using is
wrapped up in Android build-system-ness.  I'll have a look to see if I
can roll a defconfig by hand some how.

Okay, so it's the u-boot defconfig you're after.

And Mainline, right, not our Android one?
