Hmm, why is that? Presumably you want to be able to mount NFS shares if
you enable RPC support in the toolchain?

We could remove the enable part of the NFS setting though (so only
disable if no RPC support to not get a build error), and just enable it
in the default config.

Agreed. We shouldn't tweak configs behind the users back more than
absolutely necessary. Busybox is a bit special in the sense that we want
to use a single default config, but some options depends on how the
toolchain is configured.
