BUG REPORT automake-1.7.1 | autoconf-2.54c | aclocal-1.7.1

[Donn aka N5XWB]

While compiling and testing automake-1.7.1 and autoconf-2.57
I am getting several errors dealing with libtool.m4.  Locate
agrees.  

This is a SuSE 8.0 distro upgraded - kernel 2.4.20pre11. 

#define PACKAGE "automake"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "address@hidden"
#define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU Automake"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "GNU Automake 1.7.1"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "automake"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.7.1"
#define VERSION "1.7.1"

=====================================
1 of 405 tests failed
(28 tests were not run)
Please report to address@hidden

Also autoconf is reporting that automake lacks libtool.m4 

Running automake-1.7.1/tests/libtool4.test directly

All other libtool#.tests seem to work.

ERROR after aclocal and coming from autoconf (from note
above)

configure.in:101: error: possibly undefined macro:
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
