Of course. The configuration is reported in the logs of every
buildfarm run. For instance, in the most recent run at this
moment,
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=caiman&dt=2025-12-11%2015%3A00%3A05
we can see
$ ./configure --enable-cassert --enable-debug --enable-nls --with-perl \
--with-python --with-tcl --with-gssapi --with-openssl --with-ldap \
--with-libxml --with-libxslt --with-pam --with-selinux \
--with-systemd --with-liburing --with-libcurl --with-libnuma \
--with-lz4 --with-zstd --prefix=/repos/client-code-REL_20/HEAD/inst \
--with-pgport=5678 --cache-file=/repos/client-code-REL_20/accache-caiman/config-HEAD.cache
and you can drill down to the "configure" step if you want more
detail.

It's the owner's choice. The buildfarm client's sample config file
has a list of suggested options, and I wouldn't be too surprised
if a lot of people just left that list alone. I think the ones
paying closer attention probably try to enable as much as they can.
