Providing `--disable-foreign' will definitely disable the foreign
interface. Maybe you meant `--enable-foreign' above?

The log that you enclosed shows `configure' being called with
`--disable-foreign', and it looks like the log is showing a
package-based build. Is the `--disable-foreign' flag built into the
package?

It's in the "racket" subdirectory of "src".
