Comment(by jim@…):

 What I love about maintaining a port -- you meet the most
 '''interesting''' packages. ;]

 I'm pretty sure I've found the breakage. e-d-s uses [http://www.nabble.com
 /Announcing-Dolt,-a-drop-in-Libtool-replacement-which-cuts-build-times-in-
 half-td16596019.html dolt] as a dropin replacement for the more
 inefficient libtool. Unfortunately, rather than just `include dolt.m4` in
 ./acinclude.m4, someone cut-and-pasted a non-Tiger-friendly version
 directly into it.

 Here's what I fixed:

 {{{

      esac
  done
  if $modeok && $tagok ; then
      . ${top_builddir_slash}doltcompile "${args@<:@@@:>@}"
 }}}

 Ironically, the configure script runs a test earlier which checks to see
 if the shell can append; the version of dolt in acinclude.m4 doesn't take
 advantage of knowing that. ;p

 @palixath: could you have a look and see if the above patch fixes things
 for you? If so, I'll ask one of the committers to apply the patchfile I've
 attached to this ticket.

 Cheers!
