If the compilation and linking went ok then I would not expect
an (bad) consequences. On some systems (OS/X) libtool-1.5 was
required to get the C++ based shared libraries to build.

I wonder what is taking so long. libtool-1.5 has been available for
almost a year now.
On the other hand it is not necessary to replace parts of the system
(although I do it constantly). Install the new version in a
different directory and then put that directory first in $PATH
when you want to use the new version. If the system's libtool is
in /usr/bin then installing the new version into /usr/local/bin is
safe and won't affect/overwrite the system version.
The replacement's only necessary, in this case, if you want to avoid
editing the generated Makefiles each time you run ./configure or
./autogen.sh
