While the compile errors you reported have nothing to do with Libtool
and the above warning it reports, it would be *really* *really* nice
if you could tell me what this command gives on your FreeBSD system:

  /usr/bin/file `echo /usr/lib/libc.so.*`

Then we could fix Libtool to understand the answer to that command.

Anybody else using FreeBSD is very much encouraged to answer is
possible.

Also, I have not checked whether this is an old bug, so please report
the Libtool version that comes with that software package
(enter
  $top_builddir/libtool --version
after configuring).

Thank you,
Ralf
