Here is a testcase:

$ cat configure.ac
AC_INIT([aclocal-test], [0])
AC_PROG_CC
AC_OUTPUT
$ cat prog-cc.m4
undefine([AC_PROG_CC])
AC_DEFUN([AC_PROG_CC], [echo [AC_PROG_CC] dummy])
$ aclocal -I .
$ cat aclocal.m4
cat: aclocal.m4: No such file or directory

The problem is caused by the call to undefine, this loses the traced
attribute.
