Hi Everyone,
I'm testing emacs-27.1-rc1 on Solaris 11.3 i86pc.
I'm catching the following error during configure. I believe it is due
to --without-selinux:
configure: error: invalid package name: selinux
There is no config.log to offer.
It seems like configure should accept --without-selinux on platforms
that don't have SElinux.
Jeff

My reading of configure is that this error message is emitted when
some --without-* option uses characters that are not permitted in
shell variable names. Not sure why this is triggered in your case.

Oh, you're right. There was a trailing space in '--without-selinux '.
Cancel this noise.

Note sure what package is responsible for the error message, but I
think it would help if the package name gets quoted to avoid such
problems:
configure: error: invalid package name: 'selinux '

I tend to agree, but please report this to the Autoconf folks, because
AFAIU we just use AC_ARG_WITH here.
