+                    Enables BitBake to perform multiple configuration builds
+                    and lists each separate configuration (multiconfig).
+                    You can use this variable to cause BitBake to build
+                    multiple targets where each target has a separate
+                    configuration.
+                    Define <filename>BBMULTICONFIG</filename> in your
+                    <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> configuration file.

+                    As an example, the following line specifies three
+                    multiconfigs, each having a separate configuration file:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     BBMULTIFONFIG = "configA configB configC"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    Each configuration file you use must reside in the
+                    build directory within a directory named
+                    <filename>conf/multiconfig</filename> (e.g.
+                    <replaceable>build_directory</replaceable><filename>/conf/multiconfig/configA.conf</filename>).
+                </para>

+                <para>
+                    For information on how to use
+                    <filename>BBMULTICONFIG</filename> in an environment that
+                    supports building targets with multiple configurations,
