If I'm not mistaken, this looks like libtool 1.3.5 ltconfig behaviour.
If you want to remove this and support bootstrapping with libtool 1.3.5
you can probably wrap the following around the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
invocation.

# This is a hack to avoid sending /dev/null as cache_file to ltconfig.
if test x"$cache_file" = x"/dev/null"; then
  fake_cache=/tmp/fakecache.$$
  echo : >$fake_cache
  cache_file=$fake_cache
fi
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
if test x"$fake_cache" != x""; then
  cache_file=/dev/null
  rm -f $fake_cache
fi
