Yes, this is covered in the Autoconf manual[1]. Use --enable-option-checking=fatal. > It's too easy to miss such a warning for a critical arg and continue > down a path of ultimate failure. I feel like these warnings are very visible since the same warnings get printed both at the start and at the end of a configure run. You could also try using --quiet to suppress normal output (leaving you with just the warnings).
