I might be wrong, but at first sight, it looks like the aclocal.m4  
shipped with 2.2.6a is containing code that belongs to older  
Libtools.  For instance, it is funny to note that it contains the  
following:

since, at first sight, it is the very same aclocal.m4 that is  
installed with libltdl, it gets installed in my package.

I have tried to run ./bootstrap to see if it would change something,  
but apparently aclocal.m4 really wants to get these macros.
