This check is overriden by defs.NetBSD.mk for all packages that have
GNU_CONFIGURE and USE_LIBTOOL set.

However, building libtool by itself does not define USE_LIBTOOL, so the
value is not applied to it.  Maybe changing the conditional in defs.*.mk
to something like:

.if defined(GNU_CONFIGURE) && \
    (defined(USE_LIBTOOL) || ${PKG_BASE} == "libtool")

works?

Cheers
