Had this issue myself.
$ sudo apt-get install libtool
fixed this for me in RPi.

Just a note it also shows a missing libcrypto error later when i run, which is not a very helpful message in telling you what you need to install.
$ ./configure
This is how to fix it.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

For the author, it might be a good idea to include dependencies in installation notes. It would help those not actively working on C like myself get bootstrapped quicker. I didn't even know that I needed to run autoreconf -vis looking at this issue gave me the hint, so thank you :)
