All of the above is libtool related. Seems your aclocal is not picking
up the libtool macros proper. Seen this on a few systems where the tools
have been versioned a bit too much without proper fallback.. (FreeBSD
ports had this issue).

I don't remember the exact workaround now, but it was along the lines of
adding the autoconf macro repository directory where libtool has
deposited it's macros to the search path index used by aclocal.

From looking at a couple of systems memory begins to clear.. libtool
installs it's macros in share/aclocal/, while aclocal 1.9.6 for some
reason only looks in share/aclocal-1.9/ when automake is installed
versioned.

Workaround: add /path/to/share/aclocal in share/aclocal-1.9/dirlist, and
complain to the automake package maintainer.. Or if you know another
solution please tell me.

Bootstraps fine here with the same versions, but on Fedora Core..
