I installed brand new autoconf, automake and libtool into my $HOME. That
solved the problem.

However, I still don't know what the problem was, probably there were some
library files not well installed. Anyway, I'm not the administrator of that
computer, so I couldn't do much more than bugging sysop and/or install those
tools in my homedir. The former one didn't help, the latter one did.

The server I tried on was Debian, and in my original mail you can find the
versions I had at that time. Currently, it is:
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: autoconf version 2.52 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.5 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 1.4 (ok) <-- on purpose, read somewhere that some
version was giving trouble, so I played on safe.
