Details
Starting in version 1.11.5, nginx has a new configure option
"--with-compat", which enables the executable to load new
dynamic modules without being rebuilt.
Maxim Dounin (the upstream developer who signed the last release) recommends that package-maintainers enable this option: https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2016-October/008920.html Please add "--with-compat" to the "_mainline_flags" array in the PKGBUILD. |

I would also change the build to compile every possible module as dynamic.
Maybe it's time for a split pkgbuild?
Massimiliano, I don't see many advantages of this. Space savings will be minimal, and current stance is that we rather avoid unnecessary splits.
On the other hand, making the built-in modules dynamic allows the user to choose whether to enable them or not, so I still would like them to be dynamic if possibile.
