Could you point me to the tarball that you're using, so that I can see
how it uses libtool?  Thanks.

This looks suspicious.  Is the tarball very old?  Because newer
config.guess/config.sub files know about s390-unknown-linux-gnu
and do not complain about it.

I guess you could work around it by
  make LIBTOOL=libtool
