Actually, you don't want to do it that way. The aclocal.m4 file is
autogenerated by the aclocal command. To generate it, aclocal scans
configure.in to know which autoconf and automake macros it needs.
So what you are actually searching for stands in
/usr/share/{autoconf,automake,aclocal} instead.

Refer to the autoconf documentation for more details.
