It might be because of the version of aclocal you are using. I ignored
the advice:

libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

because ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS has been removed from the latest automake
documentation and aclocal should be able to look at the use of
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR in configure.ac.

I am using aclocal from automake 1.15.
