The Autoconf license in config.guess and config.sub says:
# As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, if you
# distribute this file as part of a program that contains a
# configuration script generated by Autoconf, you may include it under
# the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that program.
Xerces-C++ ships "configure" (a configuration script generated by Autoconf),
config.guess and config.sub. So I think "yes" (other committers, please
correct me if I am wrong), we are including config.sub and config.guess from
Autoconf because of above special ./configure exception.
Thanks!
