Not that I know of, unfortunately. Autoconf and friends are a bit of black
box sometimes.
If you do find a workaround, please let me know. It is not a priority itch
to scratch for me.
If anyone makes changes to the build process, make sure that the
test/buildtest.sh script works correctly after your changes. Or be prepared
to make a really good argument to change it. :-)

I understand. You should only need to rebuild your configure script if
there were changes in the configure.ac or Makefile.am files.
But if these files do change, the only reliable way to update them that I
know of is to start from a clean tree. I do that a lot.
I also recommend installing ccache, since it speeds up compilation times
tremendously.
Export these variable before running configure:
export CC="ccache gcc"
export CXX="ccache g++"
I have my configure commands in scripts (see the scripts branch in git)
and so this is always done for me.
