Could you give details of the exact build failure, rather than just "fails 
to build"?

I might wonder if having this configuration mechanism actually makes 
sense.

What's the reason here for using this option?  Whatever the reason, it 
would seem better to me to have makefile targets for building / installing 
subsets of the normally built files (so that from a single build tree you 
can use one target, then another, without needing any other manual changes 
to the build tree), rather than setting global parameters in a 
configuration file like this.
