Personally I am still not in favour of adding this to the default
configuration.  I appreciate that it's "only" 2.5k in this case, but
every time we make a change like this the binary gets a little bit
bigger and, over time, it does add up.  This sort of gradual bloat is
quite insidious and difficult to combat after the fact.

So, I continue to think that poky-tiny should just provide its own
busybox configuration and turn on the options that it wants just like
other DISTROs do.  No doubt there are some things currently included in
the oe-core defaults that poky-tiny doesn't need, so you would probably
get a smaller binary that way as well.
