I don't know, they just happen to be the sole "found.*local/ 
libtool.m4" lines in the --verbose output.  Attached for your own

This is mac ports.

bash-3.2$ port info libtool
libtool 1.5.26, devel/libtool (Variants: universal)

GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the  
complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable  
interface.

bash-3.2$ port info automake
automake 1.10.1, devel/automake (Variants: universal)
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/

Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files from  
files called Makefile.am. Each Makefile.am is basically a series of  
make variable definitions, with rules being thrown in occasionally.  
The generated Makefile.in files are compliant with the GNU Makefile  
standards.
