Yes, the configure option would not change things much, the only point would be to make it slightly easier for embedded system builders to change the configuration. Setting a configure option should be simpler than patching the configuration file. Having this in upstream would make sense, because this issue is not specific to OpenEmbedded. -- Tanu
