I usually do this on the fly using shell scripting capabilities, i.e.
something like this (copying some shell functions from MAKEALL):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
boards_by_field()
{
        awk \
                -v field="$1" \
                -v select="$2" \
                '($1 !~ /^#/ && $field == select) { print $1 }' \
                boards.cfg
}
boards_by_arch() { boards_by_field 2 "$@" ; }

for board in $(boards_by_arch powerpc) ; do
./MAKEALL $board 
cp System.map System.map.${board}.unpatched
cp u-boot.map u-boot.map.${board}.unpatched
done

...apply patch...

for board in $(boards_by_arch powerpc) ; do
./MAKEALL $board
cmp System.map.${board}.unpatched System.map || diff -u System.map.${board}.unpatched System.map >System.map.${board}.diff
cmp u-boot.map.${board}.unpatched u-boot.map || diff -u u-boot.map.${board}.unpatched u-boot.map >u-boot.map.${board}.diff
done

less *.diff
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Note this is untested; you probably get the idea.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
