This isn't an X11 issue. It's an interaction bug between libtool1 and libtool2 on the same system. autoconf doesn't know how to handle that situation since aclocal just looks indiscriminately in $prefix/share/aclocal for its m4 macros.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

I guess libtool1 should rename its macros? Or, since nothing actually uses it at present—delete the port?
