I don't trust switches for "disable this privacy reducing feature." Can I have an option to just strip that code from the binary myself without breaking the build?

When I write projects I follow the pattern of, if the user/admin doesn't want the feature, it shouldn't be loaded in memory. Period. A simple boolean check during runtime isn't enough imo. All of VNLib projects have the ability at startup to export or pull in desired code modules, or not. The feature can't be exploited if the instructions aren't loaded into memory.
