This is actually a bug in libtool.m4. The macro AC_PROG_LIBTOOL runs 
conditional checks for Java (GCJ), but unconditional ones for C++ and 
Fortran. Most of the complaints with autotools seem to be about the standard 
macro packages, not about the tools per se. You might want to file a bug 
report with the maintainers of libtool, requesting per-language libtool 
support macros instead of the current monolithic one.
