On cygwin (i suppose you're building on cygwin, from your last
messages), 'libtool' and 'libtoolize' are wrappers around
/usr/autotool/{stable,devel}/bin/libtool*

autogen.sh tries to deduce a path to ltmain.sh from the path to
libtoolize. For conventional libtool layout it works, but on cygwin,
libtool is installed to /usr/bin/ (and it just calls
/usr/autotool/{stable,devel}/bin/libtool), whenever ltmain.sh is
placed in /usr/autotool/{stable,devel}/share/

Whether this is a bug in autogen or in cygwin's libtool, i cannot say.
The proper way to deal with it is to implement an option for libtool
or libtoolize which allows getting path to ltmain.sh

For now, you can simply tweak 'ltpath' setting in autogen.sh like
this:
ltpath=/usr/autotool/devel/bin
so that it will point to the place where "real" version of libtoolize
resides.
