It is generated, just with a different filename.

Yes it would. We could get more complicated and allow an image to
build on another perhaps. I'm not sure what is easiest here.

Why do you specify a target? Doesn't it build the file without the target?

One problem with buildman is that there is no definitely of what files
it will produce when run, or at least there is, but it is in the
binman description itself.

This means that 'make clean' doesn't work fully, for example. I can
think of a few ways to implement this. One would be to put a list of
target files into a text file and have 'make clean' use that. We could
also have an option to tell binman to produce a list of files it would
generate if run. Then we might be able to tell binman to generate a
particular file.

I'll send a fix-up patch.

That's fine also. I just don't like having #ifdefs here.

For some reason the old script just used config-1.
