            Bug ID: 244302
           Summary: WITHOUT_LZMA_SUPPORT has no effect
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: delphij at FreeBSD.org

src.conf option WITHOUT_LZMA_SUPPORT has no effect.  The library and the xz
utilities are always built.  There is no use of MK_LZMA_SUPPORT throught the
whole base system.

I have added support for MK_LZMA_SUPPORT in gzip(1), and on amd64 -CURRENT, the
version without LZMA support is only 8KiB smaller than the version with it. 
The shared object itself is about 180KiB.

I think if the goal is to support it, we should teach build system about it
(e.g. don't build LZMA libraries, etc.), but personally I don't see much point
of doing this so perhaps we should just remove this option.
