Yes, it would be good if you can do this.

"--disable-ldb" probably yes. "--disable-debugger" is somewhat
debatable. Namely, when debugging build problems in typical cases
most work is to get debugger prompt. Once in debugger, many problems
can be easily diagnosed. Also, if you do "--disable-debugger"
at sbcl command line, can you enable it later in running image?
I hope so, just ask because I never used "--disable-debugger".
