One thing is that the AC_FATAL should probably be m4_fatal so that it
bombs when aclocal runs, not when the user runs ./configure. But
that's besides the point here.

Are you running this from a clean checkout? It would seem that the
version of XORG_MACROS_VERSION in aclocal.m4 (what actually gets into
configure) is an older version. XORG_MACROS_VERSION seems to work for
me.
