Then the acinclude.m4 file likely contains macros from an older Libtool
version.  Please tell upstream to update them; there are several ways to
achieve this, ranging from (brittle and error-prone) manual replacement
to just m4_including the right other macro files to just having
Automake's aclocal do that job for you (depending on versions of the
Autotools you are using).  Or just have aclocal get them from the system
wide installed macro files (but that requires that you don't have the
same macro defined in acinclude.m4 or included local macro files; they
would override the system-wide definitions).

I can't say anything more specific without looking at the exact package
contents.

It's not the OSs that cause the bug, but the old macro definitions in
aclocal.m4.
