            Bug ID: 32305
           Summary: ./configure --help: replace --enable-libctf with
                    --disable-libctf
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.44 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libctf
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dilyan.palauzov at aegee dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

./configure --help prints:

  --enable-libctf         Handle .ctf type-info sections [default=yes]

The output of ./configure --help should, when possible, only mention how to
toggle the defaults, thus implying what the default is.  Consider changing the
above output to

  --disable-libctf        Do not handle .ctf type-info sections

I mean this file
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=binutils/configure.ac#l130
