--disable-frontend (and --disable-backend) is not supported on the Linux 
platform.  It is only there to allow porting to platforms on which the 
frontend cannot be built.

And, of course, the configure output when using these:

WARNING: --disable-frontend is only intended to aid porting.
WARNING: THIS WILL BREAK THINGS. You are on your own now.

and

WARNING: --disable-backend is only intended to aid porting.
WARNING: You are on your own now.
