The problem is with macros/aclocal-include.m4 - it should look like this:

-----------------
# aclocal-include.m4
# 
# This macro adds the name macrodir to the set of directories
# that `aclocal' searches for macros.  

# serial 1

dnl AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE(macrodir)
AC_DEFUN([AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE],
[for k in $1 ; do ACLOCAL="$ACLOCAL -I $k" ; done])
-----------------

Then, your macros/autogen.sh should have this somewhere in it:

------------------
    macrodirs=`sed -n -e 's,AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE(\(.*\)),\1,gp' < $coin`
    ( cd $dr
      aclocalinclude="$ACLOCAL_FLAGS"
      for k in $macrodirs; do
        if test -d $k; then
          aclocalinclude="$aclocalinclude -I $k"
        ##else 
------------------

If that's the case, remove your aclocal.m4 and acinclude.m4 and rerun
autogen.sh. It should work then.
