The log is incorrect, it does not understand how configure works in products like mozilla.

It is configure itself which warns about the unrecognized options.

[Comment 3 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2012-12-17 17:16:27 UTC]

yes, but the build system calls multiple ./configure's within the work dir, and each one only uses a subset of the options.

Ah.  OK.  Thanks.
