The background appears to be that on macOS:
* /usr/bin/libtool is an Apple program, that does not support the GNU
interface. It comes with Xcode; Xcode is the usual way to install a
C compiler on this platform.
* To avoid a conflict, people often configure GNU libtool with
--program
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 glib
