waf build of libbsd produces no exe's (for me)

[Gene Smith]

I have tried to build libbsd using the documented methods from 
README.waf with no success, although the Makefile method seems to work 
fine. Maybe I am doing something obviously wrong in the waf command 
lines that is preventing the testsuite exe's files (.e.g., 
ping01/ping01.exe) from being produced.

It was highly recommended that the Makefile build not be "mixed" with 
the waf build. Therefore, I started with a pristine git clone of libbsd 
before doing steps in README.waf and running waf.

Since I have successfully run the ping and netshell tests using the 
Makefile build method using a customized config.inc file, I am also 
attempting to use the config.inc file with the waf build. Looking at the 
wscript file, it appears that only the items in config.inc that start 
with NET_ are read from the file and should get included in a produced 
network-config.h file (based on a network-config.in.h template).[1]

Looking at "waf --help" it is unclear how config.inc is made known to 
waf (no example is in README.waf). The help says this:

--net-test-config=NET_CONFIG
                         Network test configuration.

Is the correct command line just like "help" says,

--net-test-config=NET_CONFIG

Or is it the actual config.inc file, .e.g.,

--net-test-config=<path-to>/config.inc  ?? [2]

Also, whether this goes with the "waf configure" or the "waf [build]" is 
not specified. I have tried all combinations with no different results.

Anyhow, here are the waf commands I using:

waf configure --prefix=${HOME}/rtems/install/4.11/bsps \
--rtems=${HOME}/rtems/install/4.11/bsps \
--rtems-tools=${HOME}/rtems/install/4.11/tools \
--rtems-bsps=arm/realview_pbx_a9_qemu \
--net-test-config=./config.inc <-- same w/ or w/o this

The configure runs successfully like so:

waf install

Install seems to run OK installing lib and many headers into
+ install 
/home/gene/rtems/install/4.11/bsps/arm-rtems4.11/realview_pbx_a9_qemu/lib/

So there are no errors flagged in the build processing using waf but 
file network-config.h is never produces and no tests are produced in the 
testsuite area, e.g., no ping01.exe. Although they seemed to be compiled 
and linked, the tests are maybe never installed? Is there another step I 
am missing here?

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or provide complete example 
waf command lines that do a full build that produce the testsuite .exe's.

[1] I have also edited config.inc to so it *only* contains the network 
items with no different result.
[2] When I use NET_CONFIG as the "help" indicates I see the error 
"network configuraiton 'NET_CONFIG' not found" when I do the waf build step.
