I removed the "+live_support", hope this will fix the issue.

Thanks, that helped a lot in narrowing down the problem.

You can pass any --enable-*, --disable-*, --with-*, --without-* options
to the top level ./configure and they will be passed down to respective
configure scripts of each module.  As the option names between modules
tend not to overlap, this works quite well.

In short - just pass the --disable-gtk-peer as you've always done.

(I have adding recursive handing of --help option on my TODO list.)

Thanks & cheers,

PS: There will be another pre-release in a few minutes, hopefully.
