Tasuku Suzuki has been trying to fix the feature system, but I guess he hasn't 
managed all combinations yet. Try talking to him and coordinating your efforts 
to get this fixed.

Right now, please understand that if you turn *any* of the feature flags (that 
is, if you disable any API), you're in wholly uncharted territory and 
completely unsupported. Those combinations are not tested by the CI system and 
I doubt anyone except Suzuki-san has tried running with them.

There was a discussion a while ago about supporting only the default builds 
and reducing the amount of configuration choices. It's probably still the 
current position. Other people could support them if they want to, though.
