Description

Revision: 1.8.0-dev

Current behavior:

Invoking ./configure with one or more of the following options issues
repeated spurious warning messages, however, the program itself
executes correctly to completion.

The warning messages issued are of the form:

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-gssapi
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-kwallet
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-gnu-ld
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-ssl

(I only tested 4, but it looks like it's ubiquitous.)

Expected behavior:

./configure should not issue spurious warning messages.

Steps to reproduce:

./configure --with-gssapi
./configure --with-gnu-ld
./configure --with-ssl
./configure --with-kwallet
