Summary

0004504: Philosophical bug: should feature options be available for ash builtins when corresponding applets are not enabled?

Description

Example: I like to use "echo -e", so I'd like my ash echo builtin to use FEATURE_FANCY_ECHO, but the Busybox Kbuild won't let me select this unless I enable the echo applet also.

This could be very easily rectified by changing coreutils/Config.in:191 from

config FEATURE_FANCY_ECHO
        ...
        depends on ECHO
to
        depends on ECHO || ASH_BUILTIN_ECHO

Similarly for FEATURE_TEST_64, TEST and ASH_BUILTIN_TEST.

Is there any reason you can't/won't do this?
