No need. I have libtool 2.4.2 provided by Fedora 22, but I see in the
libtool 2.4.3 changelog:

- The libtoolize program now advises use of the new Autoconf
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS declaration. If you follow that advice, all
your developers will need at least autoconf-2.70 and automake-1.13
to rebootstrap your probject. If you still need to support
bootstrap with older Autotools, then you should add the following
to your configure.ac file:

m4_ifndef([AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS],
[m4_define([AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS],
m4_defn([AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR]))])



I guess that should have read "your developers will need at least
autoconf-2.70 OR automake-1.13" since AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS is provided
by Automake, but actually I see no reason to use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS
at all: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR seems to work just fine.
