It's an autoconf internal file used to store all autoconf macros used by
a configure script.

I guess, you mean running out of diskspace? There is hardly anything we
can do about it - Get yourself a larger disk ;)

Essentially, it's the price/tradeoff you have to pay for the flexibility
the autotools provide. But ... the aclocal.m4's by no means are the
largest files the autotools generate.
