The failure is because latest libtool (and libtoolize et. al) are =
following
the rest of GNU in eschewing `backtick opening quotes' in favour of =
'regular
single quotes at both ends' style.

The sed expression in foreign.at at line 60 should accept either format =
to
be compatible with new and old libtoolize output.  E.g.:

  AT_CHECK([sed -n ["s,^[^']*[\`']\\(/[^']*\\)'.*,\\1,p"] stdout], [0], =
[stdout])

Thanks for the report.  Yes, autoconf should be taught to be more
tolerant of new libtool, but this is probably also worth investigating
if it is a libtool regression worth fixing for the upcoming 2.4.4.
