Perhaps when, os != target os, then target os files would go in a
subdirectory of the host. Like this.
configure/os/linux/ <= linux host build
configure/os/linux/vxWorks <= linux cross build for vxWorks
The issue is reasonably fast access. It gets a bit painful sometimes sifting
through 162 files when you are looking for how its configured and you may
not remember exactly what is in CONFIG.linux-x86.linux-x86 versus what is in
CONFIG.Common.linux-x86. These two files are not close to each other in a
file open dialog.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
