Bitcoin PR #33974 separates CMake option handling from deps
hebasto submitted Bitcoin PR #33974, a CMakeLists.txt restructuring that decouples configuration-option handling from dependency discovery.
The stated target is build-system hygiene: option evaluation should not trigger unnecessary dependency scans, such as redundant pkg-config or library-presence checks. If merged, this may reduce wasted checks during compilation without changing consensus, transaction semantics, or security boundaries.
Open question: the reasoning chain notes this separation could add build-logic complexity, raising misconfiguration risk or requiring extra validation, and the efficiency gain may be marginal where build time is not the bottleneck.
