The defaults suit most folks.  Otherwise, take a look at
script/autobuild.py for some tested combinations, including some of the
magic incantations for all and none.

I would focus on these:

 --with Options:
   WITH_ADS
   WITH_AIO
   WITH_CIFSMOUNT
   WITH_PAM
   WITH_PAM_MODULES
   WITH_PROFILE
   WITH_QUOTAS
   WITH_SENDFILE
   WITH_SYSLOG
   WITH_UTMP
   WITH_WINBIND

Of these, AIO is now on by default (no option any more) and the rest
are i think on by default (if found) but you may wish to ensure you
have the right headers for them to build.

The default is now --with-ads-support and it will whine if you don't
have the things that needs.  This, and quotas is the main thing I would
worry about, in terms of user-visible features.

I trust this helps,
