Ah.  Must be a PATH thing:

$ libtool --version
libtool: unknown option character `-' in: --version
Usage: libtool -static [-] file [...] [-filelist listfile[,dirname]]
[-arch_only arch] [-sacLT]
Usage: libtool -dynamic [-] file [...] [-filelist listfile[,dirname]]
[-arch_only arch] [-o output] [-install_name name]
[-compatibility_version #] [-current_version #] [-seg1addr 0x#]
[-segs_read_only_addr 0x#] [-segs_read_write_addr 0x#] [-seg_addr_table
<filename>] [-seg_addr_table_filename <file_system_path>] [-all_load]
[-noall_load]
