configure vs cmake?

Hi,

I am trying get the "configure" and "cmake" build procedure/command to
get the same result in terms of the libraries: build the same libraries
with he same size (assuming that they are the same than) and linking
with the same libraries (have the same dependencies). I know that the
(installed) include files differ
(see https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/issues/22714).

Currently my "configure" command line is "./configure --with-gtk=3 --
enable-debug --with-cxx=17 " and  "cmake" command line is "cmake .. -
DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17". Both command lines fessult in a successful
compilation but different size of libraries with different
dependencies.

My understanding is that debug is default which means that "--enable-
debug" or giving no argument will result in debug libraries. However
the size of the libraries differ. E.g. libwx_baseu-3.2.so.0.2.1 with
cmake is 21 MB, with configure is 18.3 MB.

The library dependencies also differ.  E.g. using "cmake" has 
ldlibs_xml="-lwx_baseu-3.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so" as
dependency while using "configure" has ldlibs_xml=" -lexpat" according
to wx-config. 
ldlibs_base, ldlibs_html, and ldlibs_stc also differ in the libraries.
All dependencies differ in terms of the path to the libraries: some
have an absolute path, some don't.

Shouldn't this be all the same? Is it possible to make these all the
same? Is "configure" better than "cmake", i.e. result in less problems
when using the compiled version of wxWidgets?
