I think removing standard, expected information as to not "confuse" users is a bad move; issues with ambiguity in the build options are entirely separate from accurately displaying what they actually are.
Consider this use case: I need to build php with --debug and --disable-zend-memory-manager to use with valgrind, but now I have to *manually* recover the build string from the individual options in order to approximate the configuration I am actually trying to debug.
