If you want to reproduce the problem, try

$ git clone git://anongit.gnome.org/git/tracker
$ cd tracker
$ rm -rf m4 (I added that directory to Git to avoid the described failure)
$ autoreconf -vfi
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

Although the project uses libtool, libtoolize is not invoked first.

So, I'd say, if "aclocal --force -I m4" wants to access m4/ it should create the
directory if not existent.

Cheers,
Michael
