+ Specifies a list of options that, if reported by the
+ configure script as being invalid, should not generate a
+ warning during the
+ <link linkend='ref-tasks-configure'><filename>do_configure</filename></link>
+ task.
+ Normally, invalid configure options are simply not passed
+ to the configure script (e.g. should be removed from
+ <link linkend='var-EXTRA_OECONF'><filename>EXTRA_OECONF</filename></link>).
+ However, common options, for example, exist that are passed
+ to all configure scripts at a class level that might not
+ be valid for some configure scripts.
+ It follows that no benefit exists in seeing a warning about
+ these options.
+ For these cases, the options are added to
+ <filename>UNKNOWN_CONFIGURE_WHITELIST</filename>.
