New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky@users.sourceforge.net>: It looks like Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt has not been updated since 2.4. This file is referenced from C-API documentation [1], but is not accessible as a hyperlink. Some of the recommendations in this file are out of date, in particular those that recommend setting make variables where a configure switch is available. I believe it would be best to retire Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt and move still relevant sections to proper .rst files.
