1. do i need to add ASL license header to those files which are already
licensed license? If it is so, i need to keep the original license, right?
2. some of the "Unapproved licenses" are GPLed like ltmain.sh which is
exception and legal under ASL. I remember that such file is not relicensed
with ASL in an Apache project. So, do i need to add ASL license to these
files?
thanks a lot.

Hi, Kevin.
Do not change the license or add the ASL license to these files. Only
the author (or copyright owner) of the file can change the license of
that file.
As you know, ASF projects are not allowed to redistribute GPL or LGPL
code (or any other code with license that impose restrictions on our
users). It is, however, generally acceptable to use GPL/LGPL tools in
our development and build processes (GNU compilers, autoconf, buildconf,
libtool, et. al.)
These files (.m4 files and all) appear to be files generated by
buildconf, autoconf or libtool, if i recall correctly. If so, I don't
think these files will be included in your RealClass distribution.
This is the question: for every file that rat flags as a problem, is
that file distributed, in source or binary form, with the RealClass
binary we will provide to our users? FYI, the Apache httpd build
process produces similar artifacts that are not distributed with the
http server. Hope this helps.

if there any difference on using it based on different operating system?
i
run *java rat.report * under windows but only come up with this error
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: rat/report".
I
am not familiar with java, do i need to configure something or should i
choose Linux to run RAT ?
As I mentioned before, you should do :
java -jar<path to rat jar> <folder to check>
and, alternatively, redirect the output to a file
