Take a look at the arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile where multiple images
are produced depending on the build target.  There are cuImage.%
targets which link in a different .dtb file based on the % part of the
target.  That allows images for multiple machines to be build from a
single config, rather than depending on a magic setting in the .config
file.
