Description

without this flag, building dynamic modules, targeting a specific openresty package release is a pain. One has to use -V option to figure out the build arguments used when building the official release and jsut a copy/pasted does not work since paths are not the same

Is this flag missing on purpose?

with this flag one basically needs just ./configure --with-compat --add-dynamic-module=..

Research direction

Start at the packaging entry point that invokes ./configure and compare its arguments with the official release details shown by -V. Check how adding --with-compat affects --add-dynamic-module=.. builds, and consider the work done when dynamic modules can target a package release without copying release-specific paths.
