There's two ways you can fix it. To match what we do for SSL support:

In acinclude.m4, you don't need to use AC_SUBST, and you do need to
add something like:

if test "$PG_SSL" = "yes"
then
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -DSSL"
fi

but for HAVE_CONNINFOPARSE (yes, I know we should probably do this in
CXXFLAGS, but now is not the time to fix the build system :-p ).

The other way uses AC_SUBST to add the variable to the Makefile (which
you did). You can then use that variable in Makefile.am to
conditionally add the -DHAVE_CONNINFOPARSE. Iirc, that's similar to
have we deal with the options to build an appbundle.
