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. Dima
