I can share my experience, basically no bootstrap.sh ever worked for me,
with older auto* versions either, but manually I can achieve the needed
result:

aclocal (GNU automake) 1.7.2
automake (GNU automake) 1.7.2

autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57

libtoolize (GNU libtool) 1.4.3

recent cvs versions of lwp, rvm, prc2, coda,
#-character is not a root prompt but a comment :)
i.e. cut-n-paste ready

lwp:
----
touch ChangeLog
# different order than in bootstrap.sh :
aclocal
autoheader
# not present in bootstrap.sh :
libtoolize
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf

rvm:
----
touch AUTHORS ChangeLog README
# different order than in bootstrap.sh :
aclocal
autoheader
# not present in bootstrap.sh :
libtoolize
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf

rpc2:
-----
touch AUTHORS ChangeLog README
# different order than in bootstrap.sh :
aclocal
autoheader
# not present in bootstrap.sh :
libtoolize
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf

coda:

autoheader
autoconf

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
