And/or libtool, judging from the configuration script.

Debian (unstable), bug filed at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=378608 though there's
not much info there.

Here we go:
            if grep "^# ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: $tagname$" < "${ofile}" > 
/dev/null
            then
              { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: tag name \"$tagname\" already 
exists" >&5
        echo "$as_me: error: tag name \"$tagname\" already exists" >&2;}
           { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
            fi

I just realised that the Debian package regenerates all the autotools
stuff! Running the configure script from the pristine upstream tarball
works fine--so I guess this is Debian specific breakage. :/
