No.  You need to rerun libtoolize and also take care that the macros
in libtool.m4 (from the same release as the libtoolize) are used.
(There are several ways a package author might do this, depending on
whether aclocal and/or a m4 subdirectory with macros are used).
If this is not your software package, you might want to encourage the
author to package it with a newer libtool (next release due this
weekend).

Please show the output of "./libtool --version", else I can't tell
whether updating would help at all.
