Not on my system:
-r--r--r-- 1 enge users 333025  9. Dez 14:49 build-aux/ltmain.sh
So I need to do an explicit chmod (which is mentioned in README.dev,
but I still forgot it). This is probably due to the fact that Guix,
my GNU/Linux distribution, installs all files as non-writable:
-r--r--r-- 2 root root 333025  1. Jan 1970  
/gnu/store/lf8h4n7s8lr9gf7nrzrdzcvf923c469d-libtool-2.4.7/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh
and apparantly libtoolize copies them without changing permissions.

Thanks for the comments, I will take this into account for the final
tarball.
