I just ran into a similar error (building ImageMagick on ubuntu 10.04):

The problem was present when using libtool 2.2.6b, the one that comes
with Ubuntu 10.04.

I worked around it by building and installing fresh
libtool/autoconf/automake to some other prefix,
putting that on my PATH, doing autoreconf -f, and then building ImageMagick.

(The working libtool was 2.4.2.  I only also built and installed fresh
autoconf/automake because
of magical thinking and semi-justified fears that autotools in general
hate running from split prefixes.)
