>Description:

aclocal from devel/automake19 fails to find libtool macros if
both aclocal and libtool used in port's Makefile.  That's because
aclocal searches for macros (according to bsd.autotools.mk) in
${LOCALBASE}/share/aclocal${AUTOMAKE_VERSION} dir but devel/libtool*
ports install their aclocal macros into ${LOCALBASE}/share/aclocal dir.

>How-To-Repeat:

frol at nerve ttypa:~/ports/sysutils/ipmitool$grep AUTO Makefile
USE_AUTOTOOLS=  autoconf:259 libtool:15 aclocal:19 automake:19

frol at nerve ttypa:~/ports/sysutils/ipmitool$make configure

aclocal:configure.in:38: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
configure.in:38: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
*** Error code 1
