 This is a problem with libtool.
 There is a workaround for OSF1 in devel/libtool/Makefile.common.
 
 If you are using GNU nm instead of the native nm you need
 to either put the native nm in your path or
 remove this workaround and reinstall libtool-base.
 
 If sucessful the global_symbol_pipe variable should have a sed
 script assigned in /usr/pkg/bin/libtool.
 
 Using GNU binutils is not very well tested on OSF1, I recommend
 using the native tools as much as possible.
 
 Have fun,
