BusyBox features not working

[Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com>]

Using the latest master, building for qemuarm with the default local.conf, I find that
the various configurations set by DISTRO_FEATURES are not being propagated into the build
of busybox.  In particular, there is no networking support :-(

$ grep IPV tmp/work/armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi/busybox-1.18.4-r5/busybox-1.18.4/.config
# CONFIG_FEATURE_IPV6 is not set
# CONFIG_FEATURE_PREFER_IPV4_ADDRESS is not set
# CONFIG_FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPV4 is not set
# CONFIG_FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPV6 is not set

This is supposed to work because "ipv6" and "ipv4" are now in ${DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC},
but that doesn't seem to be reflected by the build.

If I set this explicitly in my local.conf, e.g.
   DISTRO_FEATURES = "alsa ipv4 ${DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC}"
I then get the correct options built.

I know that ${DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC} is set (at least the default) as without it,
my builds break horribly.

Any ideas what's going on here?
