I assumed we'd show both runtime and build-time values side by side, clearly labeled, rather than replace one with the other. I don't see much need for --runtime-options. The point of --build-options is to gather info about the binary for debugging. While technically you can swap out the dynamic library whenever you like, in practice I think it is about asking "what will happen now when I run git". Likewise, you could answer that part with "ldd git", but this is about making it simpler to gather the information in one place. -Peff
