 Nelson> It looks like ltconfig has a problem.  Here is its version:

 Nelson> ./tests/testSubDir/ltconfig --version

It seems that such an old version of Libtool is incompatible
with today's Autoconf.  That's only an impression I got by
submitting this error message to Google.  Someone from Autoconf
