Sorry for the late response, because I'm still wondering why it worked
fine on my RHEL6.9 test host, it has the same version of autoconf,
automake, libtool etc. as you installed.

But this is an relatively low priority task for me, because RHEL6 is in
its late stage, no new features will be added, and non-critical bugs are
unlikely to get fixed, so testing on RHEL6 is relatively low priority
too.

Thanks for all the effort you made so far on this issue!
