tinderbox has reproduced this issue with version 0.3.7 - Updating summary.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2022-01-19 06:39:58 UTC]

the "libtool: error: specify a tag with '--tag'" error pretty reliably means the package is executing /usr/bin/libtool instead of bundling & generating its own copy, and the toolchain you're currently trying to build with does not match the toolchain that /usr/bin/libtool was built against.  you can see this with gcc upgrades and internal changes (which is why we tell people to re-emerge libtool), and you can see this when libtool is using gcc but you're switching on the fly to something else (like clang, or a cross-compiler).

so sure, it's a bug, but short of doing detailed surgery on the package, "that's just how it is" unfortunately.

    net-fs/nfs4-acl-tools: Fix libtool build issues
    
    When building with a different toolchain than what was used to compile
    the system libtool the build will fail. To fix this autoconf needs to
    generate libtool instead of using the system libtool. Additionally
    rlibtool depends on libtool being generated to work correctly.

    actually add the new version!)
