A lot of those aren't needed, really.  Since we don't use rtti or c++ 
exceptions those options are just going to make your code bigger, with 
no positive results.  Also --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 and 
--enable-xft is all you need.  The various --disable-toolkit-foo don't 
really do much in the face of --enable-default-toolkit.  Also, if you're 
using --enable-xft you don't really need --enable-freetype2.
