As far as I know, all ports should continue to use the Apple gcc-4.0,  
unless the port specifically depends on the gcc42 port and redefines  
the CC, CXX, etc variables.

So if it works when you manually use /usr/bin/libtool, do you have a  
different libtool somewhere else that's getting picked up first? What  
does "which libtool" say?
