Yes, the general approach is certainly very useful, and I use it a lot to run all kinds of tests. However, I usually find myself interested in very different kinds of results; looking at the .map files is just one of the many use cases so I would not know what sort of "state saving" code to implement by default. The most generic approach is of course an out-of-tree build with a separate build directory for each board. But then, this costs a lot of ressources and is only seldom really needed. So I really don;t have a goiod suggestion how to generalize this. I tend to rather spread the word how such things can be done, and do them on the fly as needed.
