  Yes.  The version of libtool used by FreeRADIUS is quite old.
Unfortunately, I've tried to upgrade it multiple times without much success.

  libtool, libltdl, and configure are incestuously related in bizarre
ways.  It's annoying, frustrating, and borderline incompetent.

  Exactly.  I'm loath to upgrade libtool && libltdl.

  The code in the "master" branch (what will be 3.0) has a number of
changes to the build system.  It now can build without libtool or
libltdl.  The result is a build that is faster, simpler, and much better.
