This should be fixed in the libtool-2.2.7a-3 (-12 for cygwin-1.7), that
was released last night. It's still propagating to the mirrors, so I
haven't officially announced it yet. (BTW, your fix was not correct;
there's a reason those functions were originally changed from AC_DEFUN
to m4_defun in the first place).

This one...I need more information -- for instance, your configure.in
file itself (and perhaps your generated configure). I suspect there's a
bug in /that/, such as invoking macros in the wrong order -- which may
be breaking the (valid, for setups that obey the rules) assumptions made
by libtool.
