IIRC, libtool is _compiler_ specific, and to be absolutely safe, you
need to rebuild it if you change your compiler.  -current uses GCC 3.x
while netbsd-1-6 uses GCC 2.95.x, which might explain why rebuilding
libtool was the solution to the problem in the PR.

We could definitely write some checks for the proper compiler version
when a package uses libtool, but I think as a start we should just
educate -current users that they should always, _always_ rebuild
libtool if they moved from a netbsd-1-6 system, even if it means
they'll need to rebuild KDE3 from scratch.
