Running auto*/libtool in spec files creates dependencies on those tools. This can get unclean when you want to build the same src.rpm for multiple distributions or as soon as upstream moves to a different (maybe less/not compatible) version of the tools.
A proper work-around to auto*tools' issues would be to generate patches and to apply these patches inside of the specs instead of running the autotools inside of the specs.
