Using DISTRO_FEATURES for this is nasty since if you change this item,
the sstate cache is invalidated. Its really a build configuration level
thing, not a distro feature...

So whilst I appreciate the reasoning for it, I don't think its the right
approach and we'll need to find another one.

Cheers,

Richard
