How to build with buildroot several similar configurations without rebuilding same packages?

I have several very similar configurations which I need to build with buildroot. But this means I need to rebuild most of same packages several times?

For example I do build x86 image bootable image. For that I have one configuration for initramfs and second configuration for nearly same main rootfs.

Or other example, my bootable image which I do with buildroot uses Grub but also I want to generate mostly same image but IsoLinux. Is it ever possible to avoid build procedure duplication? How to do?

Unfortunately, even one package changes cause the configuration to change! What I suggest is to use two configurations, both with the ccache enabled and to build out-of-tree to prevent the overwrite. Check both here and here!

With this solution, I managed to build a similar configuration in a safe and fast way!
