I'm not sure. One of the problems with genimage is that it calls a
number of external utilities depending on the content of
genimage.cfg, and it isn't directly clear what host packages you need to
enable to ensure it works. If we add explicit BR2_GENIMAGE_FAT / CPIO /
EXT2 / ISO / JFFS2 / UBI / .. options selecting the needed host packages
then that would solve that issue.

I think the option should select BR2_HOST_PACKAGE_GENIMAGE instead of
depending on it though.
