No, even the newest one works this way, see $ac_defun_rx in aclocal.in.
It's fairly tricky to change this, IIRC.  aclocal does two things: look
for macro definitions and for macro usage.  The former would seem quite
fragile when done by autom4te tracing because we might be scanning
conflicting sets of third-party files.
