These are two different things.

1. Tests that require `libtool' or `gettext' implicitely require an
   installed Automake in $PATH (so that `aclocal --print-ac-dir'
   works), but it can be installed where you want.  I don't
   understand your comment about /usr/*.

2. With your patch, `aclocal --print-ac-dir' is not enough to
   locate a third-party m4 file.
