The 1.8.x series still depends on Libtool 1.5.26 (I'm planning to
investigate what's needed to switch to 2.2, though).  Can you try that?

`gnulib-tool', which is part of Gnulib
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/), is only needed for the 1.9
branch, which may not be what you want.

Once you have a local clone of the Git repository, you can get the 1.8.x
branch this way:

  $ git branch --track branch_release-1-8 origin/branch_release-1-8
  $ git checkout branch_release-1-8

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
