Consider clarifying platform/package specifics and any minimum versions (e.g., GNU autotools on Linux/macOS, package names like autoconf, automake, libtool, and note common equivalents such as libtool-bin on Debian/Ubuntu). This reduces build friction for new contributors.

Suggested change
To build wolfSSL and wolfCLU, you will need autoconf, automake and libtool installed.
To build wolfSSL and wolfCLU, you will need the GNU Autotools toolchain installed (typically the `autoconf`, `automake`, and `libtool` packages). On Debian/Ubuntu, install `autoconf`, `automake`, and `libtool` (or `libtool-bin` on older releases); on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora, install `autoconf`, `automake`, and `libtool`; on macOS, install them via Homebrew (`brew install autoconf automake libtool`) or MacPorts (`sudo port install autoconf automake libtool`).
