Shouldn't the following give an error about an unknown option "./configure --enable-debu=full"?
Actually this is explained in the Autoconf manual:
`configure' scripts do not complain about `--enable-FEATURE' options that they do not support. This behavior permits configuring a source tree containing multiple packages with a top-level `configure' script when the packages support different options, without spurious error messages about options that some of the packages support. An unfortunate side effect is that option spelling errors are not diagnosed. No better approach to this problem has been suggested so far.
Thanks.
I thought I remembered something else that was similar to a feature that errored with a spelling mistake.
