First, do not write to me personally. I will not respond to private
questions like that - if there is an issue that needs explanation, a
question on a archived mailing list will benefit all of the community,
not just you.
As to your question: with any question regarding configure, the
config.log should be provided. That's the basic rule for any
configure-based project so you should've been aware of that.
For both make and libtool, configure tries to check their versions by
invoking them with --version and then trying to match the following regexps:
^GNU Make (3.[89][[:digit:]]|[4-9])
\(GNU libtool.*\)
(2[[:digit:]]*\.|1\.6[[:digit:]]*\.|1\.5\.[2-9][[:digit:]]+)
So:
- Ensure that the versions of make/libtool you've installed are
available in the $PATH (and not preceded in $PATH by some outdated
version, e.g. in your $HOME/bin).
- See what your `make --version` and `libtool --version` print and see
if it matches the regexps above.
Regards,
Alexey.

A `reply-to-all` will include me, I'll forward the message to crossgcc mailinglist.
Much better would be being subscribed to this mailinglist yourself.

Thank you, Geert and Alexey,
  The libtool problem is solved thanks to your help and process of
elimination and make file "no" was not an issue just a note as to which
version of make is loaded.
  The problem was a missing step in the ubuntu OS prep (I started
with a bare machine install).
sudo apt-get install libtool-bin
was required before things worked (it did take a while to figure out
the -bin part of the name)
Again, thanks for bearing with me on this one. It is the first time in
all my years I needed to use the mail list help.
Bill

Is the -bin also in the book? Needs the book author be informed??

You are welcome. Thanks for replying below the text. Archive readers
