Sorry I was unclear in my question, its not that saveenv doesn't work as it does, it was that I was hoping to do it through the build system/configuration file.
You can do that, too, of course. But allyou affect this way is (usually [*]) the default environment, which gets used if the normal environment gets corrupted - as long as there is a valid copy this one will be used, and the default environment will never be used.
As recommended before, you can erase or otherwise invalidate (for example, just overwrite the checksum entries) the environment to force using the default environment.
[*] An exceptions is the (not frequently used) configuration ith an "embedded" environment where the environment is part of the U-Boot image itself and will get overwritten when you install a new image.
