No, it's a problem with libtool being fucked-up, which is why we're developping a replacement. We're also recommending end-users use binary packages for a reason. Specifically, because of that libtool fuck-up, among other things, you will very often have to wipe your system clean if you want to recompile from source. Event though it's not finished, if you're running -current, you can try make LIBTOOL=/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/libtool It might work... or not.
