On the basis that sounded like more hard work than I have time for I thought
I would try switching to systemd.  Following the instructions in the dev
manual [1].

If I add the extra variables to build/conf/local.conf then with the machine
type set to genericx86 I get this build error:

ERROR: Function failed: do_configure (log file is located at
XXXXX/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-native/2.2.0-r1/temp/log.do_configure
.1926)
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in:
XXXXX/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/qemu-native/2.2.0-r1/temp/log.do_configure
.1926
Log data follows:
| DEBUG: Executing python function sysroot_cleansstate

| ERROR: User requested feature sdl
|        configure was not able to find it.

I'm guessing that this is me being dim and that build/conf/local.conf isn't
what the documentation refers to as "your distribution configuration file".
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Andy.
