Comment:

 Ok, you're right, 1.0.5_1 doesn't work anymore either. Looks like a
 libtool issue. If I show the debug output I get:

 {{{

 So libtool is hardcoding the path to gsed into glibtoolize if gsed is
 present at build time, though it does not declare a dependency on gsed,
 therefore MacPorts did not tell me I was not supposed to uninstall gsed.
 Since gsed has a few dependencies of its own, might be better to make
 libtool always use the system's sed, even if gsed is present. (None of
 those dependencies currently depend on libtool, but I'm worried one of
 them might want to at some point, and that would be a circular
 dependency.)
