I'm missing that too.
Every time I add/change/remove a file in my target_skeleton/ i have to
"make distclean;make menuconfig;make" or i have to add it to
project_<arch>/project/root/ too and run make.
I would love to see something like that you have described in buildroot.
I have not enough experience with Makefiles and buildroot to write it,
otherwise i would have done so, that would have saved me hours of
compile time. Especially the toolchain tooks very very long.
