Comment (by JGC):

 It's not an archlinux specific problem, it's a problem with libtool
 version differences. What happens here is this:
 - pidgin ships with ltmain.sh versioned at 1.5.22 and uses system
 installed libtool to run its autotools system
 - archlinux ships with a more recent libtool (2.2), that requires
 something in ltmain.sh which has been introduced somewhere in libtool
 1.5.23 or 1.5.24.

 In other words, every source tarball that ships an ltmain.sh version
 1.5.22 or below will require re-libtoolizing with recent libtool versions.
 The only solution to fix this "bug" (I can live with re-libtoolizing
 sources before building), is to release tarballs using libtool 1.5.24, or
 to include the used libtool binary in the source distribution.
