I thought the problem was that he was re-running aclocal, autoconf,
automake, etc.

I believe that `make dist' will generate a tarball which anybody can
unpack, configure, and build.  This process shouldn't require redoing
any of the configury.  So libtool version conflicts should not come in
to play -- the package is entirely self-contained.

If that isn't the case then there is a bug.
