Not sure what the best way is to extract them. Just generating a list of macros could be done in a number of ways: - autoconf --trace the macro files, grep for public API namespace, use an exclusion list like autoconf/tests/mktests.sh does. - For gnulib, grep the modules/* files for used macros (supposedly those are only public ones), continue with an exclusion list.
