eh ?  it doesnt add a m4 dir for me.  maybe you added 
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) to your configure.ac ?  in which case, you need to 
make sure the dir exists first otherwise using that doesnt make much sense.

it's a suggestion, not a compliant.  the behavior you're describing sounds 
correct to me.  i imagine you'd prefer libtoolize to shut the hell up if there 
arent any actual problems.
