For a Linux distro, definitely check out the Yocto Project which has similar goals. It is quickly taking over the embedded Linux BSP space.
In addition to configuring and building the entire OS base image, including cross-compiling, managing the base image, including custom third-party software, testing with a qemu image etc., it also coordinates working with a team of developers during development by managing build artifacts, and controls software updates to the new distro after it is deployed by building apt- or rpm- (or opkg-) style packages automatically.
Maybe a bit of a learning curve, but it is very well documented and has a large community and some big companies behind it. Definitely worth it for the flexibility.
