This is probably a henn-egg-problem - the target directory is created by config.py, isn't it?
for targets/arima/hdama
you could put config.py in targets/arima/hdama, while the build is done in targets/arima/hdama/hdama
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.
