Yeah, that would certainly work.
However, I was thinking that it might be handy to have this and some
other information available for helping with debugging. E.g., that we
could ask bug reporters for "git version --build-options" when we
suspect something related to their config.
Something along the lines of the patch below, which lets you do:
$ ./git version --build-options
git version 2.9.0.243.g5c589a7.dirty
sizeof-unsigned-long: 8
SHELL_PATH: /bin/sh
PERL_PATH: /usr/bin/perl
DIFF: diff
PYTHON_PATH: /usr/bin/python
TAR: tar
NO_CURL:
NO_EXPAT:
USE_LIBPCRE: YesPlease
NO_PERL:
NO_PYTHON:
NO_UNIX_SOCKETS:
GIT_TEST_OPTS: --root=/var/ram/git-tests
NO_GETTEXT: Nope
GETTEXT_POISON:
That's not all of the knobs, though; it's just what we stick in
BUILD-OPTIONS to trigger script rebuilds and communicate with the test
scripts. So I think there would potentially be further work to do. But
it's at least a start. I dunno.

I dream of a world where there are no 32-bit platforms at all, but sadly
we are stuck in the middle ground where they are rare enough that nobody
bothers to test on them early, but not rare enough that somebody doesn't
complain within 24 hours of making a release. :-/
