You can do:

    ./configure --config=foo
    ./configure --config=bar
    make conf=foo
    make conf=bar

which will output in out-foo, and out-bar.

Or, you can use GNU style --srcdir:

    tar xzf lilypond-x.y.z
    mkdir arch-foo arch-bar
    cd arch-foo
    ../lilypond-x.y.z/configure
    make

    cd ../arch-bar
    ../lilypond-x.y.z/configure
    make
