Whatever I do, my Vim executables come now out with -rightleft and -arabic (since patchlevel 700 maybe?).
These features used to work well enough, and that is the reason why I haven't been filing bug reports or posting feedback about them. Now I see that at lines 237 to 247 of feature.h, both FEAT_RIGHTLEFT and FEAT_ARABIC are now forcibly undefined even if they had been defined earlier (and even in Huge builds) on the pretext that no bug reports and no feedback have been seen about them recently. Configure arguments --enable-rightleft and --enable-arabic also have no effect. Similarly, keymaps work well, and I wonder why they have been relegated to the Huge build. IMHO, keymaps (and possibly langmaps, which I don't use because I am lucky enough to have a mother languague using the Latin alphabet) are an essential feature when working with non-Latin scripts. I have taken the trouble to write owncoded keymaps for both Russian (Cyrillic) and Arabic, but now my workhouse Big build (downgraded to Normal level) can't use them anymore. They used to be usable with a Big build but now a Huge build (with, from my point of view, lots of unneeded ballast) is required.
