Does this mean that you are adding your own macros to aclocal.m4? Maybe
you could try adding them to acinclude.m4 instead, or popping them in
m4/yourownmacros.m4 with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) (depending on your
version of autoconf) Then aclocal will fish them out and pop them into
the new aclocal.m4.
