Yes.  This has been fixed in the CVS HEAD version of Libtool for quite a
while, but not yet in a stable release.  As a workaround (that AFAICS
won't break things in the future) you can put
  m4_defun([_LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG])
  m4_defun([_LT_AC_LANG_F77_CONFIG])

in you configure.ac before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL (for which AM_PROG_LIBTOOL is
an older name).

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
