Hello Ken,

thanks for the report.

Most of your failures look like this, with an error from autoconf,
automake, or aclocal.  This is due to OpenBSD providing wrappers for
these programs in /usr/local/bin which require you to set the
environment variables AUTOCONF_VERSION and AUTOMAKE_VERSION to versions
which you have installed.  These wrappers have a bug, in that they do
not exit with a failure status after this error message, otherwise the
Libtool test suite would have skipped these tests.

I remember to have mentioned this bug a while ago to someone I thought
was an OpenBSD developer, but it seems to still be unfixed.  Could you
please open a PR with them to have it fixed?  The issue is that
  /usr/local/bin/{autoconf,automake,aclocal}

should have nonzero exit status when the respective variable is not set.

I haven't looked at the other testsuite failures yet.

Cheers,
Ralf
