I have never argued to make this option public.

There is currently a build option (which is private), and building with it its broken. And here is a more than reasonable patch to fix that breakage.

I don't know why you are mixing one thing with the other.

If we aren't even going to accept patches for fixing the breakage for changing the value of private options, why having this private options at all?  What is the point? 

Why we don't convert all private options to unconditional definitions that can't be changed of value?
