[Bug 754690] libtool versions earlier than 2.4.4 fail with autoreconf

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #26 from Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) <ensonic at sonicpulse.de> ---
I did a fresh checkout:
git clone --recursive ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gstreamer
cd gstreamer
./autogen.sh

and it configures fine. It also builds. But ./libtool --version reports 2.4.2,
so what does the version check actually do?

Also I think you need to do a git submodule update. Otherwise this won't take
effect.

If I manually bump that i my checkout, it fails as expected:
configure.ac:65: error: Libtool version 2.4.4 or higher is required
m4/libtool.m4:48: LT_PREREQ is expanded from...
common/m4/as-libtool.m4:26: AS_LIBTOOL is expanded from...
configure.ac:65: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
