why do you need to disable v2 strict mode? Which packages fail? few to 
none should.
In case I think upstream packages have been updated and we can backport 
the patch.

disable-bfd ? disable-openssl? I never needed those options, don't even 
know what the first does.
Also, enable-libffi should not be needed: if it is present it gets used 
by default. On contrary, if ffcall is preferred (on some rare platforms) 
you need to explicit it.
