This is due to the libtool version on your system, combined with the old
libtool version that was used to generate the epiphany tarball. I see
this bug on Archlinux a lot, where we ship libtool 2.2.x. Usually I fix
this by running "libtoolize --force", followed by the usual ac/auto*
commands to regenerate the rest.
