Nope.
I have the build of the libraries on my box, and that is  compiled 
and built.

I have an application that I am building/working on. There are times when 
I want a noshared/debug version, which will allow me to inspect all 
variables etc in gdb..
Then I want a release version of the application, without waiting for the 
libs to be rebuilt, so I just to make opt

then I want a debug version, etc, and the process goes on - you see - I am 
not going to wait for the libs to be rebuilt each time.

Put it another way.
It is not possible for a developer to decide at configuration of the 
library what build is required, because it is not know.
Sure, it is known for the gentoo (or equivalent) user who is downloading 
the library to build it to use in some application.
