ok, I think I fixed/worked-around the issue.

I renamed /usr/pkg/bin/libtool to /usr/pkg/libtool_old

and installed a different libtool script from
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/libtool-1.5.18
(the version numbers match)

one thing I did notice is that /usr/pkg/bin/libtool
was using ksh, and the one I replaced it with was
using bash. not sure if there are other
configuration differences(haven't checked)

pcre compiles and installs cleanly now I bet the rest
will too.

bug ?

thanks
