The syntax is
if TEST
SUBDIRS += ...
endif
and there should not be any indentation of `if' and `endif', and at most
spaces for indentation of variable assignments, no TABs.
You already learned that running aclocal and autoconf is required;
the first time you use AM_CONDITIONAL, the code of this macro needs to
be added to your aclocal.m4 file.
If you need to maintain a patch against a Libtool macro, then what most
users do is write a bootstrap or autogen.sh script which consists of
something like
libtoolize [--copy] [--install]
patch -p0 - <<EOF
here comes your patch text for m4/libtool.m4
EOF
aclocal -I m4
autoconf
automake -Wall
