Yes, they should be skipped.

After Gary's pending test patches are in, I'll post one that adds

# LT_AT_CHECK_TOOL(TOOLNAME)
# ---------------------------
# Check for working `$TOOLNAME', add autotest keyword
m4_define([LT_AT_CHECK_TOOL],
[AT_CHECK([$$1 --version || (exit 77)], [0], [ignore], [ignore])
AT_KEYWORDS([$1])
])

and adds
  LT_AT_CHECK_TOOL([ACLOCAL])

to LT_AT_ACLOCAL, and ditto for the other tools.  This should resolve
the issue.  It's unfortunate that Autotest's AT_TESTED is unsuitable for
this.

Cheers,
Ralf
