The issue seems to come from a bad interaction between aclocal and the
macros from the Autoconf Archive (m4/ax_....m4)
Can you recheck if the issue is still valid with Automake 1.15.1 and the
latest version of those macros from the autoconf archive?
If the issue is still here, a tarball including those macros and a
minimal example would help us debbuging it.
Thank you for the bug report.
