That typically means that you are using ltmain.sh from 2.2.x, but the
libtool.m4 macros from 1.5.x.

If libtoolize doesn't copy them, then probably that's because
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR isn't used.  There are several ways to get
the macros to be used in a package (including not copying the
files at all, or manually putting the stuff in acinclude.m4 or so).
If you suspect a bug, please post a link to the package, and the
output of the bootstrapping procedure (or of libtoolize --verbose)

Cheers,
Ralf
