Follow-up Comment #1:

I don't think there's anything Octave can do in particular, but ok to leave
this here to track any upstream progress.

I think this would need to be addressed in either gnulib, the source of the
bootstrap script which calls 'libtoolize', or the libtool project itself.

The error message indicates that 'libtoolize' was called with '--install', to
copy boilerplate files into the source tree, but it found copies of these
three files that are later versions than what libtool would have installed.

For comparison, when 'automake --add-missing' is used, it copies boilerplate
files into the source tree, but if it finds the destination file name it
assumes it will be fine, doesn't check the file serial number, and doesn't
print an error or warning.
