yes, that's right.  (but he doesn't have to recompile lynx to do that).

The usual (non-Windows) configuration information is compiled in, so he
can inspect the feature by going to

        o (options menu)
          go to the end, follow the "lynx.cfg" link
          follow the "compile time options" link
        /persis  (search for persistant options)

I see a line like this - which indicates to me that the feature is
compiled-in:

USE_PERSISTENT_COOKIES              1
