I don't know what's going on with the libXp and xorg-x11-drv-* failures,
we're not doing anything tricky. Someone have a clue?
The problem appears to be `autoreconf' vs. `autoreconf -i'.
The process goes like this with bare autoreconf:
1) aclocal runs and updates aclocal.m4 with the new AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
definition it finds
2) libtoolize is skipped because -i/--install not given, leaving you
with an old ltmain.sh
3) fail
You can see the process if you add the -v switch to autoreconf.
Here's some background on why this happens:
