You can inhibit the compilation and installation of selected programs
at configure time. For example, to avoid installing "hostname" and
"uptime", use ./configure --enable-no-install-program=hostname,uptime
+ Note: currently, "make check" passes, even when arch and su are not
+ built (that's the new default). However, if you inhibit the building
+ and installation of other programs, don't be surprised if some parts
+ of "make check" fail.
