Thanks for the report.  Maybe your Libtool installation is broken, or
aclocal does not find the right Libtool macro files (libtool.m4).  You
can usually fix that by choosing the same --prefix for all of Autoconf,
Automake, and Libtool, or by adding the path $libtool_prefix/share/aclocal 
(suitably expanded) to the file $automake_prefix/share/aclocal/dirlist.

In any case, please go into the tests subdirectory of the build tree and
run 
  env VERBOSE=x TESTS="depcomp4.test java.test libtool3.test \
      libtool7.test ltcond.test ltcond2.test ltconv.test \
      ltlibsrc.test nobase.test pr300-ltlib.test pr307.test \
      suffix8.test suffix10.test" make -e check

and post the output.  Some failures on Tru64 have been fixed in the CVS
version of Automake; but to use that, you'd need both CVS Autoconf (or
wait until 2.60 is out) and at least this pending patch:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2006-06/msg00015.html
(maybe I should not wait for Alexandre but just apply it...)

Cheers,
Ralf
