There is no --*-geoip configure option. The configuration checks for libGeoIP so that it can build the geoip plugin in te case you build the experimental plugins. We should never be linking libGeoIP anywhere else (that's the bug).

Yeh, there's a build option like that in there. It suffers from bitrot because there's no maintainer and no agreement on what the minimal footprint ought to be. Increasingly I believe that additional capabilities should be plugins.
