I ran into the same problem... but I didn't report it yet. :-)
The same thing happens in buildcheck.sh on line 23.

I also ran into another problem with autogen.sh. When
the script tries to find libtool.m4 it breaks if --prefix and
--exec-prefix are not the same when you build libtool.

    libtool-1.4.2 % ./configure \
                     --prefix=/usr/home/okumoto/Tools \
                --exec-prefix=/usr/home/okumoto/Tools/sparc

The problem lines are:
        ltpath=`dirname $libtoolize`
        ltfile=`cd $ltpath/../share/aclocal ; pwd`/libtool.m4
