The tester should not be effected. Do you mean bsp builder? If you do there is
an important architecture question we need to resolve.

The bsp builder configuration data in ...

https://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools/tree/config

We how have a better configuration data set in ...

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/spec/build

The code to parse the build spec files into some internal Python data used by
the waf build is in this waf script ..

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/wscript

It is not available as module that can be reused. There is also code in the
rtems-central.git repo but that is out of reach for this purpose.

I do not know how to resolve this.
