I don't think we need a command line switch for this -- we should only have those for cases where there's a reasonable user decision to say "I don't want feature X (even if my host might support it)". For this kind of thing we should just have a configure test for "do the host headers support feature X" and unconditionally use it if present. That's what we do for things like CONFIG_FIEMAP, for instance. thanks -- PMM
