Did you make sure that this step from Harold's lesstif announcement
worked?

2) Make the build script run aclocal, autoconf, and automake, and make
the mkpatch step exclude files generated by these programs.  This
makes the package patch readable and useful.

I think you might need to include libtool in that list.  Make sure all of
the afore mentioned tools are up to date, and then try:

autoreconf --install --force

Probably due to the above.
