If at all possible, simply do not include both config.h files in your code.
If you need the output from one autoconf check in both config.h files,
simply repeat the check in both project's configure.ac files.

When using autoconf's cache (pass -C to ./configure), the check will not
actually be repeated; the cached value from the first run will be used by
the second ./configure run.
