Maybe there is an incompatibility between different versions of
automake, autoconf and libtool.

It works for me with automake 1.7.5 if I get the correct libtool
macros included:

aclocal -I /opt/libtool-1.4.3/share/aclocal
automake
autoconf

bjg|debian> automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.5
bjg|debian> autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

it should be created automatically by the Makefile if you use
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
