We are very much constrained by the `autoconf` framework. However, there **is** actually a help text already describing this, just at the top of all `--enable/disable` features. Optional Features: --disable-option-checking ignore unrecognized --enable/--with options --disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no) --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes] ``` I understand that it might be hard to spot. But in all honestly, the same can be said about this addition you are proposing. So I don't think it brings much value. Long time ago, when I was young and naïve and thought that I was going to be able to tweak autoconf into submission, I filed https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8058090. If anything, it stands as an acknowledgement that the current help is not very good, and that it is hard to fix properly. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/22231#issuecomment-2501609938
