This could happen, it even happens often with some open software: It checks whether the compiler understands a few dozens exotic options (maybe C++ related) and the uses this set when building the software.
Config.log contains (just an excerpt):
BUILD_CC='/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14'
BUILD_CFLAGS='-pipe -Os -Wa,-v -arch x86_64'
BUILD_CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include'
BUILD_LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch x86_64'
CC='/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14'
CFLAGS='-pipe -Os -Wa,-v -arch x86_64'
CFLAG_VISIBILITY='-fvisibility=hidden'
and was using for the final test
configure:95467: /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14 -o conftest -pipe -Os -Wa,-v -arch x86_64 -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch x86_64 conftest.c -lintl >&5
An early test was:
configure:7178: /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14 -pipe -Os -Wa,-v -arch x86_64 -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch x86_64 conftest.c >&5
Configured was invoked as:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --disable-silent-rules --program-prefix=g --with-openssl=no --disable-year2038 CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14 'CFLAGS=-pipe -Os -Wa,-v -arch x86_64' 'LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch x86_64' CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include --no-create --no-recursion
Last GCC invocation before stepping on the bug was:
/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-14 -I. -I./lib -Ilib -I./lib -Isrc -I./src -I/opt/local/include -pipe -Os -Wa,-v -arch x86_64 -MT src/date.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o src/date.o src/date.c &&\
IMO BUILD_CFLAGS and CFLAGS are the same…

I have no idea…

Since I am also chasing bugs in my old PowerBook G4 I see there, Mac OS X 10.4.11, Tiger, just one single run of configure, same on my (almost) up-to-date MacBook with macOS Sonoma 14.7.4. Here, on macOS High Sierra, Version 10.13.6, configuration happens twice.
To me it looks as if automake-1.17 decides that a rebuild is necessary… (because version mismatch 1.16.x vs. 1.17?)
