CentOS - May 2012 - Problem building latest Courier-authlib on CentOS4

Upgrading to CentOS6 is on my list, but I'm trying to get the latest
Courier-MTA running at the moment.

I downloaded the current courier tarballs and tried to build the rpms on a
CentOS4 system.  I got these errors:

$ rpmbuild -tb courier-authlib-0.64.0.tar.bz2

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93944 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93944 (%build)

I asked on the Courier list and Sam said that my libtool is too old.  He
suggested adding an "autoreconf" line to the spec file, but that just
generated an error that my Autoconf is too old.

Can someone give me a pointer as to how to fix this?

Thanks

You may not be able to, not without doing some programming yourself.
You're trying to build a current package on an o/s two releases old, with
no updates since, um, last year?
