The cause is probable some bad macro quotation or unclosed brace.

I have tried it a bit with deleting parts of configure.in (which should
eliminate the buggy macro) and now I can run autoreconf successfully.
The included patch deletes a part of configure.in and now it is possible
to run autoreconf => the buggy macro is there. Also Google is saying
that there was a problem somewhere in libtool.
