This looks indeed broken.

For comparison, on NetBSD-8.0-x86_64 this line looks much better:

archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC -shared \$pic_flag \$libobjs
\$deplibs \$compiler_flags \$wl-soname \$wl\$soname
\$wl-retain-symbols-file \$wl\$export_symbols -o \$lib"

As the next step, I would patch
pkgsrc/archivers/libarchive/files/configure to have a "set -x" at the
very beginning, since libtool is generated by this configure script.

Running bootstrap again with this patched configure script should at
least give a clue where the "{ global" comes from, as there are several
lines in the configure script that could have generated this text.
