bug#18942: 2.4.3: Unable to build universal on OS X

[Misty De Meo]

Thank you! I've applied the fix to our libtool package: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/commit/0f80370be66ddcfcea7c9d2ea20dd331f32e3eb1

Cheers,
Misty

Thanks for the detailed report.  Now fixed in master, so the fix will be in upcoming 2.4.4 (in about a week, depending how quickly the trickle of bug reports against 2.4.3 slow down noticeably).

Patch attached incase you want to upload a patched 2.4.3 to homebrew in the interim.

Cheers,
