Description
Running bootstrap with the recent beta release of autoconf (2.69c), I noticed a bunch of warnings. It's expected as I think they have changed the default warning level. We can either turn down the warning level (with somthing like -Wno-obsolete) or update configure.ac. Calling AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is e.g. to support libtool and it's probably been a decade since libtool 2 was released.

Okay, the warnings are just the same warning repeatedly and only involve two macros from libtool. I found this ChangeLog? from libtool, dating back to 2004, describing the change and as expected the change was introduced in libtool 2, so easy enough to change the macros and require libtool 2.
