We are doing some work with LXC (containers) and one of the templates

there is a config option for this.

A couple possible approaches:

    -create a new 'busybox_static' recipe that the lxc package
     depends on that turns on the needed build options.   Pretty
     straightforward, but now there are 2 variants of the busybox
     package.

    -somehow propagate some configuration options through to
     the standard busybox recipe so it turns on the config
     option to build things statically.   Not sure how to
     do this, and seems like it could get pretty messy.

Any thoughts?

We've been talking about this as well.. I'm currently of the opinion that the kernel's config fragement processing be added to busybox. This way someone can simply add a configuration fragment via a bbappend, or other approach and it'll pick it up. That same can be used to specify how to enable other optional pieces of busybox.
