The list seems to be set to reply only to the list, not to the
original author. (I didn't even know non-subscribers could post to the
list.) I manually included you now.

Weird. I just tried this on my FC16 machine and it worked fine. This is with

autoconf.noarch           2.68-2.fc15             @anaconda-0
automake.noarch           1.11.1-5.fc14
@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14
libtool.x86_64            2.4-7.fc16              @anaconda-0

It looks like you just have a slightly newer version of libtool. (I
assume you do have libtool installed in addition to libtool-ltdl,
right?)

Did you start with a pristine clone? Whenever I've had these problems,
it's been resolved by just starting over with a clean checkout.
Otherwise I don't have any good ideas why it's not working.

cheers,
