Nope. It's nothing to do with the path. It's this command:

The version of libtool on OSX has no --version command, it has no --help
or -? or --usage or any other simple command that does not start the
linker. Whatever you pass it, either you pass a valid link command or
you get the error message - which naturally goes to STDERR which autogen
picks up as a "no such file or directory" error and thinks that libtool
is not installed.

PITA!

How do we get around that?
