Arch maintainers possibly didn't quite understand how support for aspell 
works and didn't include --enable-aspell to avoid a hard dependency.

We depend on aspell in the same way we do on X: we only need aspell 
headers (and --enable-aspell) during build time to build with aspell 
support. After that mc would still work even if aspell is not available, 
because aspell libraries are loaded dynamically at runtime.

That's how Debian is able to provide a package supporting aspell, but also 
working without aspell if the libraries are not installed.
