The correct way to turn on syslog in busybox is to ensure that
"file://syslog.cfg" is included in SRC_URI.

However, it looks like it's included by default so in your case you
may need to find and disable a custom local .bbappend etc which is
removing it?

In general, if a busybox config fragment exists for a particular
feature then it should be used (added or removed from SRC_URI) to
enable or disable that feature. Manually editing the busybox config
should be reserved for features which don't have their own config
fragment.
