It was the  dbh  distributed in the xfce4 rc2-targz that has the problem. 
Has there been another?

Basically, I do not know... sorry.  You need to ask someone (maybe Olivier?) 
who understands the diffs between 1.4 & 1.5 better than I.  S!, man, I am not
a 
"real" developer.  I've only written simple stuff and auto* have never been
needed.:)
Since, as I said, it appears that all of the correct files are in  .libs 
before the 
rpm installs to a temp dir which it uses to build the RPM , the correct way to
fix 
it, I think, is in the autogen, configure, libtool,... scripts.  IOW, there is
already a 
test for libtool availability - perhaps adjusting the test would work. (?)

I think it boils down to not using it on systems with libtool <1.5, but h!
WDIK?, 
maybe it is just MDK and the Hungarian distro (and possibly Conectiva,
too...).

However, if you do go into those scripts, while in configure.in , you might
want to 
change the last line:

AC_MSG_RESULT(configure step complete: now do a "make" followed by a make
"install")

to

AC_MSG_RESULT(configure step complete: Now do a '' make '' followed by a ''
make install '' or, for RPMs, just do a '' make rpm ''.)

 -  Your choice of course!(it's just a suggestion)
