Sorry, the OS and version are of course relevant, I should have included that info.
It's Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.10. But the autotools on this machine are in fact rather old (ca. 2006). However, as I said they're newer than what regenerate-makefiles.sh says it needs. And I think your hint is correct, libtool is the culprit here. For now I built IRSTLM static on a machine with newer autotools and copied everything over. That's working fine. The IRSTLM folks might take a note about this, though.
