Yeah, I thought that might be the case. At some point someone installed
libtool and overwrote /usr/bin/libtool (/usr/bin/ranlib is a symlink to
libtool).
He'll have to reinstall his Developer tools, he can get them from
connect.apple.com after free registration if he can't locate his install
media.
I will look at adding a libtool patch to add --program-prefix=g if the
user installs libtool to /usr (but the user shouldn't be doing that, imo).
