I saw this too on an OSR5.0.6 box, and in the course of investigating it I 
backed up along the HEAD branch by a few days and then forward again and it 
mysteriously disappeared!  Try `bootstrap; make maintainer-clean; bootstrap' 
and see if this fixes it for you.

If not, I'd be interested in more details, though I suspect it may be some 
anomally in cvs update rather than an actual libtool breakage...

Cheers,
        Gary.
