You might want to check with the libtool people and/or the libtool
mailing lists about support for MacOS X, as

	1) if somebody's already fixed this problem, you might want to
	   pick that fix up;

	2) if nobody's fixed that problem, you might want to contribute
	   what fixes you have, so that a future libtool release will
	   support MacOS X.
