Nothing, sorry.

If your source tree doesn't already shadow the installed layout
(and with sub-packages I doubt it can), there is not much you
can do about it: I think you'd better live with it and fetch
headers and libraries from where they lie.  Besides libtool
libraries (assuming that's what you build) are not something I'd
ever want to move in a build tree.

Or maybe each of you subpackage could supply a script run by the
top-level configure to build symlinks, but that doesn't really
sound sane to me.
