What do you need Pacifist for? I agree with Daniel. Reinstall  
Developer Tools. This is fairly easy. Use the uninstall script  
provided on the Xcode disk image first. Then install again.

Here's what I have on my system:

$ cd /usr/bin
$ l *libt*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  206466 Sep 12  2006 glibtool
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    9927 Sep 12  2006 glibtoolize
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  293636 Sep 16  2006 libtool

It looks like Developer Tools provides at least the glibtool items:

$ grep glibtool -R /Library/Receipts/* 2>/dev/null
Binary file /Library/Receipts/DeveloperTools.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom  
matches

Not sure if it also provides the non-Apple libtool, but why not give  
it a shot? Uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode is easier than  
reinstalling the whole OS.

"rm" is the unix remove command.
