This typically means that you installed automake (and hence aclocal)
using a different --prefix than the one you gave when you configured
Gtk.

That's an ok thing to do, but you have to be aware of this
consequence.

The fix is to copy gtk.m4 into <prefix>/share/aclocal/, where <prefix>
is the prefix you gave when you configured automake.  Then rm
config.cache and re-run autogen.sh.
