You may consider a config.site (see autoconf documentation) file:

# config.site for configure
#

# Default --datadir, --sysconfdir and --sharedstatedir
# test "$datadir" = '${prefix}/share' && datadir='${prefix}/lib'
test "$infodir" = '${prefix}/info' && infodir='${datadir}/info'
test "$sharedstatedir" = '${prefix}/com' && sharedstatedir='/var/state'

# Give Autoconf 2.x generated configure scripts a shared default
# cache file for feature test results, architecture-specific.
if test "$cache_file" = ./config.cache; then
        cache_file="/var/lib/config.cache"
    # A cache file is only valid for one C compiler.
    CC=gcc
fi

Then run configure with CONFIG_SITE=PATH/config.site ./configure.
