Probably - although I am running an up-to-date archlinux :
some tool versions
pacman -Q automake
automake 1.15.1-1
/:0 pacman -Q autoconf
autoconf 2.69-4
/:0 pacman -Q m4
m4 1.4.18-1
/:0 which aclocal
/sbin/aclocal
/:0 pacman -Q -o /sbin/aclocal
/usr/bin/aclocal is owned by automake 1.15.1-1
pacman -Q libtool
libtool 2.4.6+42+gb88cebd5-1
which libtoolize
/usr/sbin/libtoolize
libtoolize --version
libtoolize (GNU libtool) 2.4.6.42-b88ce

It seems the difference between yours and mine is yours calls libtoolize to
build the needed m4 files mine does not. I do have libtool as indicated
