Hi Drew,
One thing I always found useful with the rest of the server codebase was
to take a look at the logs on buildd.debian.org to see exactly which
defines were being used to build various files, to check if I was
missing stuff.

If you're doing -DFOO across your whole tree, it's better to declare:
AC_CONFIG_HEADER(include/xprt-config.h)
AC_DEFINE(FOO, 1, [Bar baz quux])
in configure.ac, and have the following in include/xprt-config.h.in:
/* Bar baz quux */
#undef FOO

See include/xkb-config.h.in for an example, include/xorg-config.h.in,
etc, also.

Cheers,
Daniel
