Folks,
I got the following report for groff https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49651 The groff build from repository source fails in the ./bootstrap phase on MacOS X systems. GNU libtool conflicts with the Xcode libtool. The attached patch [below] checks for a Darwin build and uses glibtool/glibtoolize when detected. This looks reasonable to me. Is this the right fix? If yes, please incorporate it into gnulib.
