You are probably right.  I don't really understand what I'm doing
here, so here's the entire output, after adding

  ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4

to XSParagraph's Makefile.am:

  $ libtoolize
  libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
  libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
  libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltoptions.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
  libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltsugar.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
  libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/ltversion.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
  libtoolize: You should add the contents of `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' to 
`aclocal.m4'.

  $ aclocal

  $ autoreconf
  configure.ac:3: required file `./config.guess' not found
  configure.ac:3:   `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess'
  configure.ac:3: required file `./config.sub' not found
  configure.ac:3:   `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub'
  autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

  $ cd ../../../../

  $ ./autogen.sh
  Preparing Texinfo development infrastructure:
    ./tp/maintain/regenerate_file_lists.pl
    (cd tp && ./maintain/regenerate_docstr.sh Makefile.docstr)
    (cd tp/tests && ../maintain/regenerate_cmd_tests.sh Makefile.onetst . -base 
'formatting' -long 'sectioning coverage indices nested_formats contents layout'

    (cd tp/tests/htmlxref && ../../maintain/regenerate_cmd_tests.sh

    (cd tp/Texinfo/Convert/XSParagraph && autoreconf --install)
  configure.ac:3: installing `./config.guess'
  configure.ac:3: installing `./config.sub'

  Now run configure with your desired options, for instance:
    ./configure CFLAGS='-g'

And the configure script now says at its end:

-Wdeclaration-after-statement
  cleaned is -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -DDEBUGGING
