phpize creates a mini-project which uses autoconf/automake/libtool. 

This smells to me like this project doesn't work with automake 1.8.5,
but sadly there may not be much we can do about that.

I'd suggest perhaps trying automake 1.7 or 1.6 (I'm current using 1.6.3).
I didn't even realise there was a 1.8!

My other thought is to check that autoconf, automake, and libtool were
all configured and installed with the same prefix.  If they aren't, then
they can't find each others macros.
