No, even the newest one works this way, see $ac_defun_rx in aclocal.in. It's fairly tricky to change this, IIRC. aclocal does two things: look for macro definitions and for macro usage. The former would seem quite fragile when done by autom4te tracing because we might be scanning conflicting sets of third-party files. Cheers, Ralf
