Hi, I was trying to install linux_base, which tried to install rpm, which tried to install gdbm. gdbm complained that my libtool was out of date; so I pushd /usr/ports/whatever/libtool; make install; popd. Now I'm back in linux_base, and I say "make" again, but this time the gdbm port fails because its patches were already applied and it's trying to patch again. It'd be nice if failing the libtool version check didn't leave the port in an inconsistent state; now I have to go down 2 levels of dependencies (or scroll back past 50 lines of "Exit 1") and make clean. I don't have any brilliant suggestions, other than splitting the patch-libtool target into pre-patch-libtool which checks the version and post-patch-libtool which does whatever else.
