About "make autotools" failure

Hi,

I tried to build LTP with today's git "ltp-40be648.tar.gz". But "make autotools" failed in my all systems.

The environments of my systems are as follows:

I use "automake", "autoconf" and "m4" whose versions are same as written in "INSTALL" file:

By the way, in today's git "ltp-40be648.tar.gz", "${LTPROOT}/testcases/ kernel/syscalls/pcllib/aclocal.m4" is overwritten after failure of "make autotools" command.
But, in older gits "ltp-7e2cbbd", "${LTPROOT}/testcases/kernel/ syscalls/pcllib/aclocal.m4" is not overwritten after success of "make autotools" command.
Why?

I was trying to get rid of autogenerated files, but unfortunately
I was only half successful. I'll restore the original files if I can't get the whole thing to work tonight (please try installing the libtool package to see if the problem goes away though first). Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience,
