There isn't, not really - but in the kernel's case, you don't need one, either.

Build with:
	make O=/path/to/c3/tree

Put your .config in /path/to/c3/tree/

All your compiled stuff will drop into that tree, and your source tree will stay untouched, so you can have a single GIT tree and source files.
