That doesn't work for cross builds. or probably for any configuration options available, as any config tests for any modules removed are probably not run at configure time anymore.

I wasn't saying it is impossible to build. Rather, it would have been nice to find some other way to disable those modules for the release packages. Had the maintainers effected been added to reviewers for that change, I would have probably suggested something different be done.
