These are standard autoconf macros shipped by libtool. On my system,
they're in /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4. `autoreconf' calls
`aclocal', which should scan configure.ac and pull in whatever macros
are needed and add them to aclocal.m4 in the current tree.

For some reason, your `aclocal' isn't pulling in these macros and
`autoconf' is failing. Maybe you need to pass some flags or run a
particular `aclocal'. `autoreconf' respects the variable ACLOCAL, so
you can put the correct command in there.
