Not easily: the actual option strings as passed to each sub configure are the same (modulo --srcdir and --cache-file mangling of course). > For example, when having packages p1, p2 and p3 and a "p" top level > configure listing them as subdirs and assuming all packages support > "--enable-debug", is there a way to enable debug just for one package, > lets say p2?

Well, if you author the sub packages then you could --enable-debug=PKG1,PKG2,... and let each package find out whether it's listed there, and only enable debug mode then.
