Quite likely autoconf, automake, and libtool have broken backwards compatibility with themselves again. They do this every few years without fail. I've had similar experiences with IDE's depending upon them. They do not last.
If you're lucky, you can upgrade your package with autoreconf followed by libtoolize --force, but this is a long shot. autoconf and automake have been been outpacing moore's law in complexity and brokenness for over 20 years.
It may be far better to take 5 minutes to write a simple makefile yourself than spend 3 months fighting this monstrous, obsolete code generator-generator-generator.

autoreconf
AUTORECONF(1) User Commands AUTORECONF(1)
NAME
autoreconf - Update generated configuration files
SYNOPSIS
autoreconf [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...
DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate) repeat-
edly to remake the GNU Build System files in specified DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to `.').
By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their sources. If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, you can
make `autoreconf' remake all of the files by giving it the `--force' option.
Operation modes:
-h, --help
print this help, then exit
-V, --version
print version number, then exit
-v, --verbose
verbosely report processing
-d, --debug
don't remove temporary files
-f, --force
consider all files obsolete
-i, --install
copy missing auxiliary files
--no-recursive
don't rebuild sub-packages
-s, --symlink
with -i, install symbolic links instead of copies
-m, --make
when applicable, re-run ./configure && make
-W, --warnings=CATEGORY
report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax]
Warning categories include:
`cross'
cross compilation issues
`gnu' GNU coding standards (default in gnu and gnits modes)
`obsolete'
obsolete features or constructions
`override'
user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables
`portability'
portability issues (default in gnu and gnits modes)
`syntax'
dubious syntactic constructs (default)
`unsupported'
unsupported or incomplete features (default)
`all' all the warnings
`no-CATEGORY'
turn off warnings in CATEGORY
`none' turn off all the warnings
`error'
treat warnings as errors
The environment variable `WARNINGS' is honored. Some subtools might support other warning types, using `all' is encouraged.
Library directories:
-B, --prepend-include=DIR
prepend directory DIR to search path
-I, --include=DIR
append directory DIR to search path
The environment variables AUTOM4TE, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, ACLOCAL, AUTOPOINT, LIBTOOLIZE, M4, and MAKE are honored.
