You need to have pkg.m4 (usually /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4).

Distros might have it in different packages than pkg-config or pkgconf,
but they usually install it as a dependency.
openSUSE have it in pkgconf-m4, but installed as dependency with pkg-config.
Debian have it in pkg-config and pkgconf.

Yes, this has been documented on usual places:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/#quick-guide-to-running-the-tests
If you have git, autoconf, automake, m4 and pkg-config, the linux headers and
the common developer packages installed ...

https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/INSTALL
If you want to use auto configuration you also need autoconf-2.61+, automake-1.10+
and pkg-config.

(+ also in travis scripts (in travis/ directory) and also in the commit, but
both aren't that much visible for users).

But apparently that's not enough (you mentioned pkg-config, so you have read the
docs. Maybe I should state that the dependency is on pkg-config autotools
integration (pkg.m4).

Kind regards,
Petr
