A configure script that is built with libtool 2.4.7 has the options
('configure --help' output):
--with-pic[=PKGS] try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use
both]
--with-aix-soname=aix|svr4|both
shared library versioning (aka "SONAME") variant to
provide on AIX, [default=aix].
Per the GNU Coding Standards,
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html, these options
ought to be called --enable-something, not --with-something.
Probably you'll need to continue to support the --with-* spelling for a while,
though, for backward compatibility.
