`distcheck' will unpack your new tarball and try to configure and
build it. Look in the unpacked directory. Is the `m4' subdirectory
there?
If not, did you perhaps forget `SUBDIRS = m4'?
That's the first thing that comes to mind.
After that, I don't have an idea. More information would be
required. For instance if you could construct a simple test case,
that would help...
