I agree, but if every board has the same flash image, how do we specify a different MAC address for each one?

Ulf was (originally) asking for a customization feature; of course it makes sense to customize boards during production, for example to set board-specific values for MAC address, serial number, etc. But this can, and should, be done without creating different U-Boot images.
I do not expect any person to need more than one image, and I do not expect that two different companies does not need to have exactly the same image as other companies.
I do not plan to deliver binaries, only source,. so noone will be able to use this without rebuilding the u-boot. Anyone not modifying the configuration files will get the "default" binary. Anyone not explictly running the "defenv" command will not see any of the configuration created using buildroot.
I don't see how. Not every company has a manufacturing process that allows that. This is especially true for reference boards, which aren't supposed to be used in a public environment anyway.
