aclocal.m4 is autogenerated from other components. Those AC_PREREQ() are
included from some other *.m4 file (maybe from libtool). Maybe you have
to new libtool for your automake/autoconf or you didn't regenerated
aclocal.m4 after changing other files. Try running "aclocal".

I guess someone has newer libtool or something, rebuilded aclocal.m4 and
commited it into CVS. aclocal.m4 should not be in CVS unless all other
autogenerated files (including "configure" script) are up-to-date in the
CVS.
