Are you sure about that? I do X development all the time with
ACLOCAL="aclocal -I/opt/gfx/share/aclocal", and it does the right
thing.

$ aclocal --verbose -I /opt/gfx/share/aclocal
...
aclocal: found macro XORG_MACROS_VERSION in
/opt/gfx/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4: 44
...
aclocal: ignoring macro XORG_MACROS_VERSION in
/usr/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4: 43
