Is this safe when you have for example tarets/arima/hdama/hdama-8mbit
and targets/arima/hdama/hdama-4mbit built on different systems? This
might already be philosophic though.

I generally don't like in-tree builds either. But the boundaries are
fuzzy, it is also of interest to keep the config files close to the
builds they belong to. Otherwise I would suggest moving Config.lbs from
targets/ to mainboards/ as Buildconfig.lb or Config.Bld and have the
targets directory flat for built stuff only.
