I had trouble building bitcoin core the way I wanted since now more features require a flag while building. IMO it makes sense to make it a bit more prominent in the build docs how to get the needed flags.

You could also mention something along the lines
The CMake variables have fixed default values and are not auto-detected at runtime. Any CMake build that requires values different from the defaults must explicitly set them. CMake will print a configure summary, which can be used to verify the build configuration.
However, this is also not unix specific :shrug:
