It still didn't build. Shouldn't it still compile even if I used that flag? I used the wrong flag for what I was -intending-, but the fact remains it didn't build with that particular flag or do the build scripts have some sort of mind-reading capabilities? If so, why wouldn't they want to tell me i am a moron in the configure script before I tried to build it? like "configure failed! You are being a moron and either you want to use --flag with the --program-prefix flag or you really want the --prefix instead. RTFM!" This is a non-issue for me because of the aforementioned OE. But I thought I would be nice and point it out.
