Fails to build with autoconf 2.70+

[Unit193]

Howdy,

There were a fair number of breaking changes in autoconf 2.70, seems something broke solanum. Log below:

libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])' to configure.ac,
libtoolize: and rerunning libtoolize and aclocal.

I'm on 2.71 and I built it just fine, is this still accurate?

[Unit193]

This only occurs on clean checkouts, it currently happens with 20211204.5a1b54f still yes. I currently work around it by running mkdir -p libltdl/config before autoreconf -fi as I was never able to track down why the race condition is hit in libltdl.
