I suggest changing the regular expression to accept both a leading backtick and

That would require assuming a UTF-8 locale, or some locale compatible with
UTF-8. Although this is a reasonably safe assumption nowadays, it's more
conservative to run libtoolize in the C locale, so that we don't have to worry
about locale encoding when doing the test. So I installed the attached patch
instead; please give it a try.

* tests/foreign.at (libtool): Run the scripts in the C locale,
so that we need not worry about localized quotes in their output.
