            Bug ID: 32303
           Summary: ./configure --help: replace --enable-gprofng with
                    --disable-gprofng
           Product: binutils
           Version: pre-2.15
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gprofng
          Assignee: vladimir.mezentsev at oracle dot com
          Reporter: dilyan.palauzov at aegee dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

./configure --help prints:

  --enable-gprofng[=ARG]  build gprofng [ARG={yes,no}]

As not providing this option does build gprofng, the above output should be

  --disable-gprofng  do not build gprofng

That is, the output of ./configure --help should just mention how to toggle the
defaults, thus implying what the default is.

I mean this configure.ac file:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=configure.ac#l410

Lengthy reasoning: https://ab.bapha.be/posts/help-output/.
