Shit! I think I have found the answer to my question. I configure M4 use 
this:

../m4/configure -C --prefix=/mingw --disable-nls --disable-shared

And get the $global_symbol_pipe not empty. Its value is that:

global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[ 
]\\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\\)[ 	][ 
]*_\\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\\)\\{0,1\\}\$/\\1 _\\2 \\2/p'"

What's wrong?? Exactly, there is a file named config.site in /etc. I 
don't know why it exists. But after I deleted it, the firt command :

../m4/configure -C --prefix=/usr --disable-nls --disable-shared

works. So there is no need to do this patch, just delete 
/etc/config.site. On the other side, we still can do some works, 
although the $global_symbol_pipe is empty. If like, you can do this patch.

Now I recompile Libtool CVS, and get the correct Libtool.
