The syntax is
  if TEST
    SUBDIRS += ...
  endif

and there should not be any indentation of `if' and `endif', and at most
spaces for indentation of variable assignments, no TABs.

You already learned that running aclocal and autoconf is required;
the first time you use AM_CONDITIONAL, the code of this macro needs to
be added to your aclocal.m4 file.

If you need to maintain a patch against a Libtool macro, then what most
users do is write a bootstrap or autogen.sh script which consists of
something like

  libtoolize [--copy] [--install]
  patch -p0 - <<EOF
  here comes your patch text for m4/libtool.m4
  EOF
  aclocal -I m4
  autoconf
  automake -Wall

Cheers,
Ralf
