New description:

 The Portfile for qrupdate 1.1.1 edits src/Makefile to change the call to
 "ar -cr" into a call to "libtool -o". However, that usage of libtool only
 works with the system libtool in /usr/bin, not with the Macports libtool
 (which is a later version of GNU libtool).

 So if you have the Macports libtool port active, you get

 {{{
 libtool: unrecognized option: -o
 }}}

 The workaround is to deactivate the libtool port before building qrupdate.

 However, this should be fixed to allow usage with the Macports libtool
 port active.

Comment:

 The libtool port does not install a program called "libtool", it installs
 a program called "glibtool", so this should not be a problem. Or have you
 created a symlink "libtool" pointing to "glibtool"? If so, then that is
 the problem.
