Hello Pallav,
Please keep the mailing list in Cc: so others can help/learn as well
(and I don't have to go search for your original post), thanks.

No, it's ok if m4/Makefile.am is empty (but then you could also remove
it and omit it from listing in configure.ac:AC_CONFIG_FILES and m4 in
Makefile.am:SUBDIRS).
I had a vague feeling of deja-vu when I read your first mail, but didn't
know what to look for then. I've searched a bit now, this may be it:
Do you happen to have extra spaces following the arguments of AC_INIT,
as in
AC_INIT(package , 1.0 , [EMAIL PROTECTED])
^ ^
? Because if you do, please remove them. M4 only strips the leading
(unquoted) spaces of macro arguments, not the trailing ones. I think
a package name with such a space can lead to weird failures.
If that was not it, please post configure.ac, or a link to a tarball of
the package.
Cheers,
Ralf
