GCC does that (partly). Doesn't apply to users of Autoconf's AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. If you use that, it will share the cache. I assume that your project is not nearly as complex as GCC is in terms of build machinery. A combined tree has several dozen configure scripts, and uses several fewer config.cache files, i.e., there is some sharing.
