With the versions I just downloaded (at 20070327 about 14:40 +0200):

address@hidden:/tmp$ find libtool-2.1a -name 'config.*'
libtool-2.1a/libltdl/config/config.guess    <- outdated
libtool-2.1a/libltdl/config/config.sub      <- outdated
address@hidden:/tmp$ find libtool-1.5.23c -name 'config.*'
libtool-1.5.23c/config.guess                <- current
libtool-1.5.23c/config.sub                  <- current
libtool-1.5.23c/libltdl/config.guess        <- outdated
libtool-1.5.23c/libltdl/config.sub          <- outdated


For libtool-2.1a I replaced the outdated config.* and also put a copy 
in the root source dir, ran ./configure && make (i.e. GNU make!), then 
make -k check. The output is attached, 2 errors besides hardcode!

Markus is right, it was the native interix make, which is some 4.4BSD 
make. I have the man page attached. That man page says something about 
a difference to gmake with recursive make calls.
