Just wanted to follow up for the archives. I upgraded libtool but hit lots of strange issues. Ended up upgrading both autoconf and automake too, which of course were also a few years old. I was still hitting issues, now with libtool trying to execute "X--gcc" or something like that; it seemed to be a common problem, from google searches, yet nobody had a concrete answer. I'm afraid I don't either: my solution was to stash my current changes and `git clean -df'. I don't version control configure, aclocal.m4, config.* etc., and so this got me a virgin tree. At that point 'libtoolize --copy --force && autoreconf -vi' got me a working build system. There must have been some sort of state which was not getting overwritten from the above w/o cleaning out the whole tree, but I do not know what it was, exactly.
