Yes, you should provide "-I usr/local/share/aclocal" argument to
aclocal.

For autoreconf you can do this by defining env. ACLOCAL variable.

/usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/aclocal-1.9 is used only to store
stock .m4 files for autoconf/automake, while /usr/local/share/aclocal
contains all .m4 file external apps installs, e.g. xmms, pkgconfig, guile
and, of course, libtool.
