In my opinion, since you already know all the configure options you want to
use (I saw your post in the Novell SuSE group), you should just compile
your own installation. It's not as hard as it sounds or as some people
make it sound, heh. Run ./configure from within the unpacked file, then
run make and then (as root) make install.

Alternatively, I suppose, you could break apart SuSE's RPM, add your switch,
rebuild the RPM and then install that (however you want, be it via CLI or
YaST). Bear in mind you will be subject to the same build/dependency
requirements as compiling this normally. Rough instructions would be
saving the src.rpm to /usr/src/packages/SRPMS and running "rpm -Uhv <file>"
Then change to /usr/src/packages/SPECS and open the spec file up in some
editor. Add your switch to the list of config switches near the top and
save it. Then run "rpmbuild -ba <spec file>" It will run through (may
take some time) building everything and if all goes well your finished RPMs
will be in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586.

Good luck,

Dave M
