Not about u-boot, but slightly related:

I need something similar for uImages due to hardware limitations
(daughtercards requiring conflicting pinmux) and I have created this for
kernel builds:

It's working nicely for my usecase (validate hardware configs with
multiple kernels, validate software with only one kernel).
