Then all you should have to do is extract the content and do

  cd libtool-2.4.2
  ./configure

It should not be necessary to re-autoconf the libtool directory.  It 
seems like your libtool was updated with content from an already 
installed libtool.  Due to problems in the past, the libtool .m4 files 
are serialized so that it is possible to detect when there are files 
from different releases.

Since you extracted the libtool files into a subdirectory of another 
package, perhaps that package has somehow attempted to re-autoconf the 
libtool subdirectory.
