Comment:

 Well, tbh more accurately I see no harm in them. That doesn't mean there
 is no harm.

 Also, I've thought about ioerror's other comments, and if you are using a
 least privileged wrapper around TBB like seatbelt, selinux, or apparmor,
 then the --disable-ctypes *will* actually increase security...

 I think the best plan is to add the following to our alpha builds and see
 what breaks:

 +ac_add_options --enable-install-strip
 +ac_add_options --disable-parental-controls
 +ac_add_options --disable-ctypes

 If we can't add these options only to the alpha builds yet, we should hold
 off entirely until we can.
