yes...

   puts(_("\nCompile options:"));
+  print_compile_options(comp_opts);
+  puts(_("\nDefault options:"));
+  print_compile_options(comp_opts_default);

.. that's what i meant:  two lists - those from "configure"
as "Compile options" and the list of "Default options". :-)

you could get that info yourself from reading the code - yes.
but making it visible to everyone in the output saves that
lookup time for everyone.  so - thank you for that patch! :-)
