This lead me down the right track. I invoked autoreconf with --debug
("--verbose --verbose" would work too) which in turn invokes aclocal
with the --verbose option. The output indicated that there was a
libtool.m4 in ./gnulib/m4. I must have added this inadvertently to svn
when integrating gnulib. Once I removed that everything worked.

Thank you very much.
