See what happens when you pass --enable-experimental-libtool prior to
my revision. The produced configure script is invalid. libtool 2.x's
macros corrupt autoconf's internal states so that it fails to produce
config.status.

I don't use GNU libtool. It is evil - for reasons exactly like this...

No, it's not.

I explained how to do so earlier - via make-time parameters. If that
doesn't appease you, create a configure patch to let you specify a
hard-coded path to libtool to configure. Or, point APR at your
version of libtool. IMO, all of those are better solutions than
having to keep adding bloat to Subversion to support the whims of the
libtool maintainers. -- justin
