Probably not. The configure file for the release branch was probably edited instead of configure.ac and so a regen will overwrite the last edit to that file. This isn't going to be fixed on the release branch so if you do regen configure it will probably have some differences (we'll make sure it doesn't happen for 2.9). That said, if this is the only difference it looks like just a comment difference and so shouldn't affect anything.

To be safe you'll probably want to explicitly set --enable-optimized or --disable-optimized depending on what you want.
