We do this for our daily builds, if you want to look in our release build scripts, they show how we build all the uboots for all our devices.  

We do have a bbappend in our u-boot recipes to add the config to the name since we build all variations every day and stored in a directory.

Hi Lauren,
  I will look into this.
  Thanks!

  This is very similar to what we plan to do; daily, or on-demand, builds of the two images on build servers, managed by Jenkins scripts.

Regards,
