Which compiler?  Do you
  --disable-dependency-tracking
perchance?  Or does the Automake dependency tracking code not recognize
the one your compiler uses, or is it deemed "expensive"?
(In the last case, you can force-enable it by
  --enable-dependency-tracking
).  The reason I'm asking this is the dependency-tracking code will
generate libltdl/.deps and so on, thus libltdl should exist at the
time `make' starts to update libltdl/argz.h.


I can reproduce this in an empty directory with
  ../libtool/configure -C --disable-dependency-tracking
  # edit config.cache to set all argz-related stuff to no, including
  # error_t
  ./config.status --recheck
  ./config.status
  make

Try the patch below.  Good catch by the way!

Cheers,
Ralf
