8475 Do not report compilation errors if you used any of the --enable-* options 8475 NOTE: The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
8476 (except --enable-gui and maybe --enable-debug). 8476 skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
8477 autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
8478 level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
8479 and linker flags yourself.

8481 turn on internal features) and experience a compilation or linking failure,
8482 make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.
