I think for 2.60 we took care that AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS and the like don't
munge whitespace -- that was a cause for failure. And some more global
$as_echo changes in 2.61b (CVS). But I guess that doesn't apply to GCC
as it calls the sub-configures manually.
In which cases do you see these, and what's the cause for the changed
white space?

Not at the moment. I guess as a hack you could redefine the macro
_AC_ARG_VAR_VALIDATE. You may still have to do the passing to
config.status in that case.
Hope that helps.
