Is there a way to disable --compat from being compiled? I do not use Dynamic Modules and would like to have nginx compiled without them.
Why though? nginx performs better and more efficiently with dynamic modules as opposed to nginx's traditional static modules. Right now no way to remove --compat flag. But you can just disable each dynamic nginx module to go back to static nginx module compiles via persistent config file set variables outlined in FAQ item 39
Everything that I have read up until now has always recommended static over dynamic for performance. I am trying to catch up so if you did some testing on static vs dynamic or if there is something else I can read, more than happy to if you could point me in the right direction.
