Older autoconf versions don't install this either. I forgot to mention
this in the HACKING file:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libiconv.git;a=commitdiff;h=cd1a56c391b082ec813206bb0da5e30066e63c2b

versions of automake without also installing libtool, and vice versa.

The HACKING file does not tell you to invoke 'libtoolize'. It tells
you to invoke './autogen.sh', and this recipe does NOT invoke libtoolize.
