That and all the .m4 files installed by the various
packages - E.G. from a build with X support:

ls build_arm/staging_dir/usr/share/aclocal
codeset.m4       intl.m4          longdouble.m4    ulonglong.m4
freetype2.m4     intmax.m4        longlong.m4      visibility.m4
gettext.m4       inttypes_h.m4    ltdl.m4          wchar_t.m4
glib-2.0.m4      inttypes-pri.m4  nls.m4           wint_t.m4
glibc21.m4       lcmessage.m4     pkg.m4           xaw.m4
glibc2.m4        lib-ld.m4        po.m4            xorg-macros.m4
glib-gettext.m4  lib-link.m4      printf-posix.m4  xorg-server.m4
gtk-2.0.m4       lib-prefix.m4    progtest.m4      xorgversion.m4
iconv.m4         libtool.m4       size_max.m4      xsize.m4
intdiv0.m4       libxml.m4        stdint_h.m4      xtrans.m4
intldir.m4       lock.m4          uintmax_t.m4

The point is to not mix up stuff (in this case .m4 files) between host
and target builds. Our staging dir used to be a big mix of stuff for
the host and the target, and this is part of a cleanup of it.
