Issues with libtool in amd64

[Timothy White]

Trying to compile under (K)Ubuntu 9.04 on a amd64, I get issues with
libtool. Replacing the libtool that gets generated by ./configure,
with the one provided by the system /usr/bin/libtool allows me to get
it to compile.
Any ideas why we distribute our own libtool and force it to compile with it?

The errors with the included libtool are below. As said, it compiles
fine if I force it to use the systems libtool.
