I just updated my source tree to the latest XEmacs-21.5, and am trying
to configure without error checking.  I have tried the following without
success:
configure --without-error-checking
configure --disable-error-checking
configure --with-error-checking=none
configure --with-error-checking=""
Unsurprisingly, the last attempt resulted in config completing with
error-checking enabled.  The first three attempts resulted in the
following error message:
configure: Usage error:
  Invalid type list supplied.  Valid types for the --with-error-checking option are:
        extents types text gc malloc byte_code glyphs display structures.
  A prefix of "no" (eg, "notype" for "type") turns a type
off.
  Types not explicitly specified or negated take their defaults.
  The list of defaults is
"extents,types,text,gc,malloc,byte_code,glyphs,display,structures".  Prefixing
`all' or
  `none' to the list sets all defaults to on and off respectively.
  `yes' as the sole argument is equivalent to omitting the argument.
  Use `configure --help' to show usage.
Am I missing something?
As a secondary issue, configure always exits with a status of zero even
when it fails, like it does above.
