I can't modify it.

Running

  $HOME/x86_64/libtool-snapshot/bin/libtoolize --install

just installs a symlink ltmain.sh to
/home/vlefevre/x86_64/libtool-snapshot/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh

I had already tried that manually, but I'm not sure this one solves
the problem either:

$ export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I $HOME/x86_64/libtool-snapshot/share/aclocal"
$ autoreconf
/usr/share/aclocal/snacc.m4:24: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_SNACC
/usr/share/aclocal/snacc.m4:24:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/share/aclocal/snacc.m4:24:   or see 
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

and aclocal.m4 still contains the libtool.m4 data from Debian's libtool.
In fact it contains both:

# libtool.m4 - Configure libtool for the host system. -*-Autoconf-*-

# serial 52 Debian 1.5.26-4 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
[...]
# libtool.m4 - Configure libtool for the host system. -*-Autoconf-*-

Is that correct?
