But then if I repeatedly do several uclibc-menuconfig to adjust the
configuration, before restarting the build, I'm going to loose my
changes, no?

Say that UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=package/uclibc/uclibc-0.9.33.x.config, and
the following sequence of event:

 1/ Make uclibc-menuconfig. The $(UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE) gets copied to
    $(BUILD_DIR)/uclibc-<version>/.config.

    I make a change in the uClibc configuration. It gets saved as
    $(BUILD_DIR)/uclibc-<version>/.config.

 2/ I do make uclibc-menuconfig again, because I forgot something. The
    $(UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE) gets copied to
    $(BUILD_DIR)/uclibc-<version>/.config. I've lost the change I've
    made in step (1).

Am I missing something?

Best regards,

Thomas
