Yeah, sorry, didn't think of that. Trying to reproduce outside our build
system, I came to thinking, that this is maybe invalid, since one needs
rather old stuff for it (our packages are not quite up to date...)

It happens when:

 *) configuring automake 1.9.6 with ./configure --cache-file=../cache
 *) bootstrapping libtool 1.5.24 or 26 with autoconf 2.59
 *) configuring libtool with the same cache: ./configure
--cache-file=../cache

So it seems, that this is a problem of older autoconf versions...?

Cheers, Markus
