My first thought was in the help of the menuconfig, but in the case of
someone just do a make board_configs, make, he won't see it. So maybe the
best option should just to make the error message more verbose. Instead of
"Cannot stat binary file binary.0" some thing like "Didn't find the file binary.0
at /absolute/path/to/barebox/source which is mandatory to generate the kwboot image"

Oh I didn't notice this one! Indeed if I use barebox.kwbuart it works.
Sorry for the noise.
