One of two: either you didn't run "automake -a" (or --add-missing) or you
have an inadequate config environment.

You need to update your build tools. The error appears because you either don't
have GNU libtool installed or it is an old version. I'd advise to sync all
the "config" tools by updating them to the latest version (automake, autoconf,
libtool...).
