OK, so for the example in question (FUSE) the following did the job:

  ln -s /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 .
  (export PATH=/usr/local/gnu-autotools/bin:$PATH && libtoolize &&
    aclocal -I . && autoheader && autoconf && automake -a)

It works without/regardless of the dirlist hack.
Thanks for your tips.

Anyway, I still maintain that it is a fine idea that you can get at a
Linux/Rest Of The World compatilbe autotools environment simply by
adjusting $PATH, and that breaking this scheme so that we end up
srtuggling in a swamp of witty hacks is a Bad Idea.

Hmm, would it make sense to file a PR for resurrecting gnu-libtool?
