I seem to be talking to myself... Not a good sign... :)

Stupid me. I actually read the comments at the beginning of
bbdb-srv.el. Sigh... gnuserv and itimer are required. Apologies.
Feature request (yes, I know, I should implement it myself...):
Add --disable-bbdb-srv to configure script. Hmmm... How about
changing the emacs code for generating bbdb-srv.elc to something like
this:
>From the current:
--------
(progn (or
(fboundp (quote define-obsolete-variable-alias))
(if (locate-library "gnuserv-compat")
(load "gnuserv-compat" t t)))
(if (and (locate-library "gnuserv") (locate-library "itimer"))
(byte-compile-file "bbdb-srv.el")
(message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - gnuserv not found")))
--------
To (a bit verbose, but...):
--------
(progn (or
(fboundp (quote define-obsolete-variable-alias))
;; The short version:
(load "gnuserv-compat" t t))
;; I guess I am not allowed to use "unless"...
(if (not (locate-library "gnuserv"))
(message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - gnuserv not found"))
(if (not (locate-library "itimer"))
(message "Optional package bbdb-srv skipped - itimer not found"))
(byte-compile-file "bbdb-srv.el"))
--------
As for disabling building bbdb-srv.elc, this seems to need more
changes---in configure to add the option, in top Makefile to add this
as a subsystem, in lisp/Makefile to add a rule. Not in the next 15
minutes, though... :(
