If you change configure.ac, 'make' will try to regenerate aclocal.m4
among others, and that will fail if there's no m4 directory.

That happens in general if configure.ac is newer than aclocal.m4, so
you might also run into that problem if the files are unmodified but
their timestamps are wrong (e.g. if you are not using the original
upstream tarball).

So, summarizing: if you need to regenerate aclocal.m4, make sure that
the m4 directory exists.

I'm not using any workaround in Debian since I'm not patching
configure.ac or any other autotools file.
