I am not really certain but I don't know of any other flags so I would guess so. Normally, Matplotlib tries to build for everything that it can detect. I do a test where I take the matplotlib from the web-site and build it without installing it. There is information at the start of the build about which libraries that it found. I use that to test my system to make sure that it will build the ones that I want.
