Show libraries found by ./configure before building?

Is it possible to get autoconf based build systems to show the libraries it found and will link against, before building the software? As-is my current workflow is:

$ cd tps-source-dir
$ ./configure --options-i-know-to-pass
$ make
$ DESTDIR=~/install make install
$ find ~/install -name "*.so*" -exec ldd \{\} \;
Crap it found the wrong version of libfoo, try again.

It would be *really* nice to learn exactly which libraries it was going to use *before* spending hours compiling a large package.
