You'd be better off asking on the ports list or in #bsdports on EFNet.

I'm not sure if the libtool changes would account for the problem I'm running in to, as the files being clobbered are archives and not libtool files. But if anyone has any insight about this, I'd really appreciate it, as I would like to update the port and this has been a major stopping point. Thanks, Naram Qashat
