I had thought that the makefile checked if the configuration was older 
than the generated-configure.sh file.

How long are your builds taking? Here's an example from our JPRT build 
system:

----- Build times -------
Start 2013-01-22 20:35:50
End   2013-01-22 23:04:56
00:00:36 bundles
00:01:14 corba
00:02:46 demos
00:27:10 deploy
00:04:52 docs
00:11:41 hotspot
00:08:31 images
01:16:28 installer
00:00:52 jaxp
00:01:12 jaxws
00:12:09 jdk
00:01:04 langtools
02:29:06 TOTAL

and you don't have the deploy and install pieces which take the most 
time by far. (And these are not high powered machines - quad-core Xeon.)
