I am not sure what to do in these cases, sure the tools are old, but people will download libtool-2.x and run ./configure; make; make check, and it will fail simply because they have older automake autoconf. Should we print a warning at make check time warning users that their versions of automake and autoconf are too old to run the testsuite? For the tests for which it is ok that older autotools are insufficient, we should just skip the individual test. I haven't had a chance to look at the tests to see which ones should work and which ones shouldn't. In any case the old-iface ones should.

Mac OS X 10.2.8 HEAD test failures.
So, I dug my old g3 tower out of the closet, started it up and ran the libtool testsuite (I wanted to see what failed currently before trying a patch to see what failed after it). There are a number of failures related to the older autotools in the default install of 10.2.8. (autoconf-2.52, automake-1.6.1) Test 28 fails because autoconf-2.52 does not grok --force. autoconf: invalid option --force Tests 46, 47 and 48 fail because autoconf-2.52 does not have AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR: ./configure: line 894: syntax error near unexpected token `LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR(ltdl,' Tests 05,29,30,31,39,40,41,43,44,45,46,47,48,52 and 53 fail because aclocal: macro `_LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR' required but not defined Looks like _LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR is m4_defun'ed but AC_REQUIRED. Should we skip 28,46,47 and 48 if autoconf is too old, and m4_require _LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR?
