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.
