autoconf doesn't read acinclude.m4.  Instead, it reads aclocal.m4, which
is generated by the aclocal program by copying macros from the aclocal dir
that are used and appending acinclude.m4.

If the macro isn't in the aclocal.m4 file, most likely aclocal barfed,
which would be a bit further up in your build log :)
