It's not disabled in my defconfig like it is in
meta/recipes-core/busybox/busybox/defconfig, maybe it got auto enabled.

In log.do_configure I see:

Thanks I've never noticed dc before.

I see both dc and bc in 1.06 version from meta-gplv2 which was released
on 2000-11-15

bc/1.06-r3/image/usr/bin/bc

As there is already u-a for dc, I will sent u-a for bc as well.
