I agree that they don't need to be in the report, but just having them
in a variable (e.g. system-configuration-options) would make it easier
for users to see what the default switches are.

For example, I would have compared system-configuration-options between
the slow and fast builds and noticed that the fast build had '-O2' while
the slow one didn't, and this report wouldn't have been filed.
