I don't know of a way to do it easily. I looked at the Automake documentation
and couldn't see a way to put extra stuff in test-suite.log. There is
the ${AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER} variable but this appears only to be output
to standard output at the end of the tests (not at the beginning),
and not put in the log file.
It could be enough to check config.log files or the values of Makefile variables
to check if XS was enabled or not.
