IMHO the correct fix would be to drop m4/libtool.m4 and call autoreconf
in _autosetup instead of aclocal/autoheader/... autoreconf will detect
that it will run libtoolize, and libtoolize will then install the
correct macros.

Even if libtool.m4 would be bacwards-compatible, libtool nowadays uses
multiple macro files (ltoptions.m4, ltsugar.m4 etc.), and I can imagine
that a version mismatch between the subset shipped by BOINC and the
others installed by libtoolize can cause problems.
