aclocal doesn't know which macros are really needed, it looks which macros are potentially needed. In other words, if configure.in invokes a macro A which is in file AB.m4, and this file also contains the definition of a macro B which relies on a macro C, found in C.m4, then 'aclocal' will fail if you provide only AB.m4 but not C.m4.
