   enable-crypto-mdebug-backtrace
                    As for crypto-mdebug, but additionally provide backtrace
                    information for allocated memory.
+                   TO BE USED WITH CARE: this uses GNU C functionality, and
+                   is therefore not usable for non-GNU config targets.  If
+                   your build complains about the use of '-rdynamic' or the
+                   lack of header file execinfo.h, this option is not for you.
+                   ALSO NOTE that even though execinfo.h is available on your
+                   system (through Gnulib), the functions might just be stubs
+                   that do nothing.
 
   no-ct
                    Don't build support for Certificate Transparency.
