Going through and building bitcoind is a great learning process. This is the only detail I found missing from the guide. I think this may be common knowledge but its key information for a new user needing to read the build guide.

I'd use "configure flags" not "compiler flags", to avoid confusion with CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS

./configure --help is somehow unrelated to compiling bitcoin. No strong opinion though.

Some other configure options are explicitly listed in the build instructions. I don't think it hurts to tell that there may be other options available than those.
