Probably  -  although I am running an up-to-date archlinux :
    some tool versions

pacman -Q automake
automake 1.15.1-1
/:0 pacman -Q autoconf
autoconf 2.69-4
/:0 pacman -Q m4
m4 1.4.18-1
/:0 which aclocal
/sbin/aclocal
/:0 pacman -Q -o /sbin/aclocal
/usr/bin/aclocal is owned by automake 1.15.1-1
pacman -Q libtool
libtool 2.4.6+42+gb88cebd5-1
which libtoolize
/usr/sbin/libtoolize
 libtoolize --version
libtoolize (GNU libtool) 2.4.6.42-b88ce

starting from setting up PREFIX and cloning but omitting clone output is below.
It seems the difference between yours and mine is yours calls libtoolize to build the needed m4 files  mine does not.    I do have libtool as indicated above.  I am not an m4 expert to understand that difference.
