I'm on Mac OS X, so originally, there is no /usr/local/, but packages that one
takes down, compiled using ./configure && make, typically ends up there.

There is one
$ /usr/bin/autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
and I installed
$ /usr/local/bin/autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
The ./autogen.sh script writes the version number, so it is clear that the
latter is being called.
However, it uses /usr/share/aclocal/, not /usr/local/share/aclocal/. I can see
that by changing the name of the former - it still does not work. But if I in
addition set a symbolic link to the latter, then it works.
