   You probably have to let aclocal know where Libtool 2.2's
   macro files are.  I do that with
     echo "$libtool_prefix/share/aclocal" \
          >> "$automake_prefix/share/aclocal/dirlist"

Hmm.  Maybe you are right (indirectly).  Here is what i see:

- Libtool 1.5.24 installed under one prefix (in this case, ~/local)
- Libtool 2.2 installed under another prefix (/tmp/a/b/c)
- Automake 1.10.1 built but not installed
  - configure --prefix /tmp/a/b/c
  - "make check" => FAIL for 14 tests

After uninstalling Libtool 2.2, i see:

- Libtool 1.5.24 installed under one prefix (in this case, ~/local)
- Automake 1.10.1 built but not installed
  - configure --prefix /tmp/a/b/c
  - "make check" => SKIP (for those tests that had FAIL before)

After reconfiguring Automake 1.10.1, i see:

- Libtool 1.5.24 installed under one prefix (in this case, ~/local)
- Automake 1.10.1 built but not installed
  - configure --prefix ~/local
  - "make check" => PASS (for those tests that had FAIL before)

Perhaps we should add a blurb to Automake's README, such as:

|If you have previously installed Libtool with prefix P, and are
|experiencing FAILed tests with "make check", try to reconfigure
|using prefix P.

Either that, or tests/defs.in (~ line 286) needs to infer its
`aclocaldir' from the installed Libtool's location (somehow).
