--> this is saying that you don't have libtool.m4 in the path aclocal
looks for.  Are you sure you are using the latest revision ? AFAICT
autogen.sh fails when any of the autotools fail, and your run seemed to
progress further after this normally fatal error.

I'd like to fix this "bug" but I seem to remember not liking this fix. 
Anyway, I want to fix it anyway.  In any case, it's just a warning, and
you only get it with am 1.6

These are logical errors based on aclocal not finding libtool.m4

don't, it's not your problem.  My first guess would be that you compiled
one of the tools from source (For example, automake), and installed it
in a different prefix (for example, /usr/local)
