There is no way to add arbitrary configure arguments. Usually, a variant 
is created if you want to use an optional feature.

I am the maintainer of bash. These options are listed as optional in 
./configure --help for bash, but some seem to be enabled by default 
(e.g. command timing, job control, help builtin). What are you missing 
from the default install?
