Subject: 30.0.50; ./configure --help lists Android options first
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2023 20:24:19 -0700

Severity: minor

./configure --help lists Android options first, e.g. JAVAC is listed
before CC.  Here is what I see:

    Optional Packages:
      --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
      --without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
      --with-ndk-path         find Android libraries in these directories
    [...]

And:

    Some influential environment variables:
      ANDROID_CC  The Android C cross-compiler.
    [...]

I think these should be listed last rather than first.

If someone explains how that can be attained, then I have no objection.

They are just listed in order of appearance.

Yes, but the ndk-build option is defined within m4, and the files there
are included before any of our own options are defined.
