Just a couple of things to add here: GTK2 is now the default toolkit in
1.5. Following on from this, XFT is now also the default. This means there
is no need for these switches:

  --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
  --enable-xft
  --disable-freetype2

Debug is now disabled in the release tarballs so it can go too:

  --disable-debug

Study the configure.ac and you'll probably find heaps of others.. The
above is what I have stumbled upon to date.

Another thing, why the heck is --enable-cpp-rtti specified in the BLFS
instructions? AFAICT it is a debugging aid.
