You have a bad `libtool' setup.  For some reason, `config.log' got into
/usr/share/libtool, and it shouldn't, of course, be there.  `libtoolize'
is not very clever in this regard, it creates symlinks to every file in
/usr/share/libtool.

Remove /usr/share/libtool/config.log, and any symlinks to it.
