There's a very good possibility that this is the result of differences in
the build system's autoconf, automake, libtool versions, and those on your
system. All you may need to do is add a few lines in the %build section of
the SPEC file before it runs configure:
libtoolize -c -f # copies all the necessary files for libtool
aclocal # update M4 macros
autoconf # create new ./configure file
./configure ...
./ltconfig ./ltmain.sh # only if ./configure doesn't build new libtool
I haven't had to do this frequently on Linux, but it may well fix the problem.

``The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of
one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that
oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the
beginning if it is to be stopped at all.'' -- H. L. Mencken
