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
