Now gambas3 need libtool 2.X versions to build configure scripts. There is two 
possibilities (at least), install libtool 2.x, or have access to a computer 
with libtool 2.x just to run reconf-all script, all other steps 
(configure/make/..) should work in your computer.

Installing a minimal distro with appropriate tools in a chroot should be 
enough (but not tested).
