 This looks like a problem with the RPM spec file. GRASS doesn't use
 libtool. The build process shouldn't be concerning itself with the
 contents of those scripts, just running configure.

 > Do we really need AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR (e.g., in GRASS 6.3 it wasn't
 needed) or can it be conditionalized?

 It's needed, and I don't think that it can be conditionalised.
