You should make sure that your installed version of libltdl is prepped
with the same version of autoconf as the Guile tree.  The easiest way
might be to find the location where libtoolize copies the libltdl
sources from and run your autoconf there.  Like

    $ which libtoolize
    /usr/bin/libtoolize
    $ cd /usr/share/libtool/libltdl
    $ autoconf
