Hmm.  Please check which part is not uptodate: the m4 macros, or
ltmain.sh.  The latter may be updated with libtoolize, the former
by aclocal (or CVS libtoolize with the right options in combination
with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR).

Make sure aclocal gets to read the directory in which the new macros
have been installed, either by running
  aclocal -I /path/to/installed/libtool/macros
or by using the `dirlist' feature (see in Automake documentation for
more about this).

Cheers,
Ralf
