Please point me to where in the source it is stated that you depend on a
certain libtool version to build.
It is common practice to use Debian-supplied's config.{sub,guess} in the
package;
Moreover, I had to relibtoolize the package in order to fix a previous FTBFS

Then, the bug lies with upstream source, and not with packaging: if
upgrading to a newer libtool makes it FTBFS, then there is some
undocumented version dependency on libtool -- a newer version should
only fix things (unless this newer libtool version is reportedly broken)

BTW, I just built from source with latest Sid as of yesterday.
In Debian systems, libsmbios builds JUST FINE.
If it fails in a pre-alpha version of ubuntu, it is *not* RC for
Debian... specially not during a freeze.

Thank you for the report, anyway. I'll take a look a it after the freeze.
