The above error is because your have a version of libtool on your
system that is < 1.4. Libtool 1.3.x copied a ltconfig and ltmain.sh
file into the build source. Libtool 1.4.x has only ltmain.sh and
ltconfig is generated automatically by ./configure (just look at the
size of aclocal.m4 before/after libtoolize/aclocal).
