I think that the problem here may be that ../libtool is being used (the one
constructed by "configure"), rather than /usr/bin/libtool.
Is it possible you did not run bootstrap or had a partially built
directory when you started building on your new distribution?
Running ./bootstrap should run libtoolize --force, which should
overwrite any libtool-generated files.
But I haven't seen this error so I don't know what the cause is.
