I tried this approach and it didn't help.  libtoolize seems to be doing the
right thing, but I still see automake decide it't not using libtool.

hart@pogo> libtoolize
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR,
`sntp/libevent/build-aux'.
libtoolize: linking file `sntp/libevent/build-aux/ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `sntp/m4'.
libtoolize: linking file `sntp/m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `sntp/m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `sntp/m4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `sntp/m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: linking file `sntp/m4/lt~obsolete.m4'

This should be reproducible the same way as earlier comments in this bug,
just adding a libtoolize invocation before ./bootstrap
