On second thought, this probably should be enabled using a config

That's true, I've enabled CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS mostly to show how to
reproduce the issue.

If there isn't interest to enable this by default, I'm fine with keeping
this
locally (to enable it only with our defconfig changes which enable it).
I think keeping it as a nfsmount.cfg which then can be applied via a
bbappend could be a good option. May be adding a PACKAGECONFIG to control
the -I flag and libtirpc dependency would be nice too
According to the busybox config help, CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS is only
required for kernel versions before 2.6.23. Do we officially support
kernels that old in oe-core? Or should this be in a .bbappend etc in
separate layer?

//config:config FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS
//config: bool "Support mounting NFS file systems on Linux < 2.6.23"
//config: default n
//config: depends on MOUNT
//config: select FEATURE_SYSLOG
//config: help
//config: Enable mounting of NFS file systems on Linux kernels prior
//config: to version 2.6.23. Note that in this case mounting of NFS
//config: over IPv6 will not be possible.
//config:
//config: Note that this option links in RPC support from libc,
//config: which is rather large (~10 kbytes on uclibc).
