Ok, the reason it does execute "missing" and does a kind of automatic
autoreconf is because we have one patch that modifies configure.in. So
configure.in is more recent than the configure script itself. When
libtool/autoconf/automake has not been built before host-libftdi, then
this automatic autoreconf cannot proceed:

CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/bash /home/test/outputs/toto/build/host-libftdi-0.19/missing --run aclocal-1.11 
/home/test/outputs/toto/build/host-libftdi-0.19/missing: line 52: aclocal-1.11: command not found

         any GNU archive site.

and it in facts makes the thing work.

However, when this "automatic autoreconf" is done, and an
automake/autoconf/libtool set of tools, with the latest libtool, has
already been built and installed, then it generates some wrong stuff.

An easy fix is to add:

HOST_LIBFTDI_AUTORECONF = YES

to libftdi.mk. It doesn't really explain why it was working with
libtool 2.2 and no longer with libtool 2.4, but it works.

Thoughts?
