I wonder whether it /should/ use /usr/bin/libtool (compared to the prefix one)

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2012-06-04 17:11:28 UTC]

confirmed on my MacBook, appears not to be a problem on OSX Lion

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2012-06-04 17:22:35 UTC]

Fixed by using Prefix' libtool.  Host libtool produces something newer ld doesn't understand.

On solaris I'm now getting this error building zlib:

sed: -e expression #1, char 34: unterminated `s' command
 * ERROR: sys-libs/zlib-1.2.7 failed (unpack phase):
 *   (no error message)
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  85:  Called call-ebuildshell 'src_unpack'
 *   environment, line 511:  Called src_unpack
 *   environment, line 2658:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       sed -i -e 's:AR="/usr/bin/libtool":AR=libtool' configure || die

Adding the final colon fixes the issue.
