I do it manually, by vgrepping for lines like

checking for glGetError in -lGL... (cached) yes

so, you could write a script that greps for "^checking for", grabs the
library name, then does a dpkg -S to find out which package owns that
library.

There may be other build-depends that this won't pick up, but seems to work
in most cases.
