Details:

The following works with 2.69, but breaks with 2.69c:

AS_IF([test -z "$with_asciidoctor"],
AC_CHECK_PROG(with_asciidoctor, asciidoctor, "yes", "no"))

Adding brackets seems to work:

AS_IF([test -z "$with_asciidoctor"],
[AC_CHECK_PROG(with_asciidoctor, asciidoctor, "yes", "no")])

Autoupdate does not deal with this case.

glibtoolize is alive and kicking in a very popular Homebrew project
(mostly on macOS, but also to an extent on Linux).

See https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libtool :

 In order to prevent conflicts with Apple's own libtool we have prepended a "g"
 so, you have instead: glibtool and glibtoolize.

It would be great if this alternative naming was well-supported by
autoconf.

Today at least, Gentoo certainly does not install a "glibtoolize" nor
does it install a patched autoreconf that looks for this name.

I don't recall such a thing ever being the case but of course I could be
misremembering.  But a quick search of the historical repository turns
up no obvious evidence of such patches.
