True, sorry for the confusion.  However, my point stands: none of those
--disable-* options are needed when building from a tarball, and keeping
configure lines as simple as possible unless proven otherwise has more
often than not proven to help things.

It's only when you build from a git checkout that they help reduce build
time, but still aren't strictly necessary.
