That's a bit counter-intuitive, indeed, but building Emacs with 
"--with-x-toolkit=no" means that you ask a "no toolkit" built, in which 
Emacs does not depend on an external toolkit (GTK or Lucid) to draw its 
menu, toolbar and scrollbars.  That's different from a toolkit "without 
X".

This is not a bug.  Closing.

This is about building Emacs29.

I did someting like this

     make configure="--with-x-toolkit=no"

You see the "no"? No matter of that the configure output tells me it is 
build with X support.

I tried

     make configure="--with-x-toolkit=no --without-x"

Again X11 support enabled.

Then this is the only thing that works.

     make configure="--without-x"

No X11 support.

Not sure what happend here. Something interfered.

It is not well described in the docs how this switches work. I looked 
into INSTALL, INSTALL.REPO and ./configure --help
