I don't see how it can possibly be the case, based on configure.in.
The first times that the configure flags are tested is this:
test -z "$with_mule" && with_mule=no
test -z "$with_file_coding" && with_file_coding=no
I'm assuming 21.4, here. file-coding is not optional in current 21.5.
My mistake, I checked again the Installation-string of the debian:
it has --with-file-coding.
My question is then, what is this feature good for, especially if mule
is off? And what sort of harm can be done with the feature enabled?
