At present buildman only supports building the default target. Generally this is what is wanted, but in some cases boards erroneously have a different target for product extra files.
Add a --target option to help. Also add a comment indicating which letters are free for new options.

How do you use this? It would be nice to be able to do "--target u-boot-initial-env" for example for converting and verifying the conversion of boards to plain text environment. Except the list of artifacts that are kept isn't updated with that string as well. And FWIW, is this for a case not solved by CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET?
It's related to the problem where colibri-imx8 doesn't actually build an image with the default boot target.
I don't recall if there's a good reason for imx8 not setting CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET to something, but that sounds like how to solve this problem. "make all" should work, normally.
Even if it did, the build fails the first time. It just needs to be fixed/
But yes, we could add more things to buildman, e.g. it could output the initial env as a file for later parsing.
Well, your patch supports that, if I read it right. It just doesn't save it.
Yes, it would be pretty easy to provide a flag that builds that target, runs the executable and puts the environment in a file.
