This is invalid and will break at unfortunate places.
Use AC_PROG_LIBTOOL unconditionally (who told you to name it
AM_LIBTOOL?) and conditionalize in Makefile.am.  At most, something like
  AS_IF([condition],
        [AC_PROG_LIBTOOL])

may not totally break with upcoming Autoconf-2.60; but I have not tested
that nor verified it in any way, so consider yourself warned.
