You should remove acinclude.m4 and the rule to generated it from
toplevel Makefile.am.  Instead put ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 there.  Also,
the files m4/header.m4, m4/install.m4, m4/isc-posix.m4, m4/largefile.m4,
m4/missing.m4 and m4/sanity.m4 are very old and should be removed as
well.

gettextize does not depend on gnulib.
