It depends what you really want.  --enable-checking sets Lisp safety
to 3, but only in build-improvements branch.  In wh-sandbox --enable-checking
is ignored, like other unrecognized --enable-xxx options.

If you want to build with Lisp safety set to 3 than wh-sandbox
should build OK.  AFAIK gold/silver will not build with
safety set to 3 -- one has to fix a few problems and the fixes
are not applied yet.  I am not sure about build-improvements.

OTOH safety 3 means very significant slowdown.  On the same machine
safety 0 build took about 2.5 hours while safety 3 build needed 
about 19 hours.
