Well, the only solution I am aware of, is to install a second copy of
automake and autoconf into this prefix. Aclocal looks for m4 files always
in $(compiled-in prefix)/share/acloal first and then visits all
directories listed in the ACLOCAL_FLAGS variable.

I hope I'am wrong here, and there is a simpler solution, but thats the way
it works for me.
