I like it, testing now, one suggestion: Since this is just about
libraries, ditch the "lib' prefix, and make the header more
informative, making it look like this:

   Auto-detecting system libraries that enables features:
   ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
   ...                             c: [ on  ]
   ...                          gtk2: [ on  ]
   ...                         audit: [ on  ]
   ...                           bfd: [ on  ]
   ...                           elf: [ on  ]
   ...                          numa: [ on  ]
   ...                          perl: [ on  ]
   ...                        python: [ on  ]
   ...                         slang: [ on  ]
   ...                        unwind: [ on  ]
 
Also, do we look first for dwarf, then for glibc?

Back to the other patches...
