The installed version of libtool is irrelevant (unless you or the
package updated the source code with libtoolize).

What is important, is the version that comes with the source.  Sorry,
if this is obvious, but thought I should make sure.

It looks like ltmain.sh is old (this isn't always a bad thing),
version 1.3.3, and ltconfig is... well... confused.

Try

ltconfig --version, and see what happens. With a package I get:

ltconfig (GNU libtool) 1.3c (1.731 2000/07/10 09:42:21)
