Can you confirm that it worked at some time before (on DragonFly)?

That's the regression I meant (the parenthesized part).  I believe Joerg
has installed a workaround patch against libtool-1.5.22 in DragonFly for
that part.

Please rerun the link command
  /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc [...] -o libXfontcache.la [...]

from that log manually, with '--debug' added as first libtool option,
post all output (maybe packed).

Longer-term it would be very helpful if someone could help me out with
shell access to a NetBSD or DragonFly box, to do regression tests for
Libtool releases.
