Are you sure?  I just tried it out.  My first run,
    ./configure -C --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no --with-gpm=no
, took ~2.3 seconds.  I built Emacs, and GPM was indeed not built in.

Then I did
    ./configure -C --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no --with-gpm
, which again took ~2.3s, built Emacs, and GPM was then present and
working.

So it seems that ./configure -C can cope with at least some flags being
changed between runs.  Which are these "different flags" which don't
work when you change them whilst using the -C cache?
