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.

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. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
