It's an error for any of the autotools-related (libtool, configure,
aclocal.m4, etc.) files in third_party to be regenerated, and apparently
they were before the error you specified occurred. (If you look at 'git
diff'/'svn diff', you'll probably see that they differ from what's in
version control.) This seems like some timestamp related problems. If
you can revert the files and touch them so 'make' knows not to try
regenerating them, that should fix it.

If you are going to regenerate the build files in some third_party
directory, you should do all of them as with 'autoreconf -fi' from the
appropriate directory.
