Comment:

 Here's the offending line:
 {{{
   $libtoolize_supports_install = `$libtoolize --help` =~ /--install/;
 }}}

 Note that it executes libtoolize to see whether it supports "--install"
 whether it is later going to call "libtoolize" or not.  This is a bug in
 ubuntu, I think: when I went to look at the ubuntu source for this
 package, I found that they had added the line in their version of
 autoreconf -- it isn't in the autoreconf that the GNU project ships, and
 is added in ubuntu's diff.

 Closing as "works for me" -- please feel free to report this on libtool's
 bugtracker if you want to help them out.

 Thanks for helping track this down!
