just for the record, it seems macosx has apple's libtool installed in
"/usr/bin/libtool" and gnu libtool in "/usr/bin/glibtool":

[localhost:~/curl-7.9.5-pre4] jonatan% glibtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3.5 (1.3 2000/11/22 00:47:10)

i don't know if that makes any difference (curl seems to use its own
libtool)

i found some info on libtool and darwin/macosx (see link). to summarize,
libtool/glibtool is known to cause problems in some situations (not
necessarily the same problems though), and apple seems to be planning to
upgrade.
