Yeah, AFAIU AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR{,S} was introduced to replace the m4_include(), so it is probably the right fix.
On the other hand, the 1.13 release (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2012-12/msg00002.html) says to avoid using this because it will be deprecate soon (and it was in 2012).
So, I would put a big FIXME in that part of the code and we will easily remember of changing it back as soon as it stops working with newer automake versions.
In the end, ACK.
