Yes,

We are using ./m4 directory to place to copy all the m4 scripts used by
aclocal, but we didn't add that empty directory assuming that it is always
created by aclocal.

But when you declare 

export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I $ACLOCAL_PATH"

The automatic creation of the directory is skipped.

I don't see the need to overload aclocal with an alias with a -I, the set of
ACLOCAL_PATH would be enough.

We have four options:

1) Add to git the m4 directory
2) remove the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR
3) trust the user won't overload ACLOCAL with an include
4) you create manually the ./m4 directory before running autogen.sh

I'm leaned to option 2)
