You would have to "make clean" anyway!!
If you need to switch that much between CFLAGS definitions, then maybe 
you should have two build trees.

The file config.status is a generated file. I would not advise anyone 
to edit a generated file.

I myself like to use
        ./config.status --version
to check for the arguments passed to it and re-run the configure 
script. By your method, I would have to remember what to change in 
"config.status" everytime!
