I'm not sure, but I always rm -rf the whole build directory when changing configure options. Any sufficiently-tidy clean rule would have to basically do that anyway: changing the configure options like that would require a rebuild virtually from scratch, I imagine. Just remember: GCC (and most remotely modern autoconf/automake-based software) supports parallel builds. Use "make -jN" for as high an N as you can manage: typically you can use N == # of cores + 2 or so, but for very high core machines you can do more most likely. That will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce your build time. Have fun!
