>How-To-Repeat:

Try to compile cleanly.

>Fix:

I have removed changes suggested by libtoolize:

libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: linking file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

by applying this patch to the port:

And I can build torsocks after runing

And then torsocks can be compiled successully.

Not an autotools expert to fix this properly, though :(
