Hi!  Thanks for the report.

This is harmless, but should be fixed.  I suspect it is caused by
m4/update-header-version.m4's code like this:

  if ! sed 's/_VERSION ".*"/_VERSION "'$PACKAGE_VERSION'"/' $1 > fixhdr.tmp; 
then

isn't that usage of '!' portable?  I gues not.

This looks like a libtool issue.  Could you try the just released 1.26
version?  It probably uses newer auto*/libtool tools.
