For some reason that package has a truncated file. It looks definitely
as a local problem on your system, if it was a general problems this
list would be flooded by problem reports about this by now.

You can mail a build log for devel/libtool to me and I can have a look
and see what's wrong. You should try having a look yourself first though.

You also have the option of grabbing the official package fro the
FreeBSD mirrors, which are not showing this problem.

As I said if the port was defective we would be getting floods of
reports about this by users, since this is not happening, the ports
build cluster is building it successfully and I have not been able to
reproduce the problem I guess it's a problem caused by something on your
system.

You should investigate why libtoolize is being created as an empty file.

The ports, for example, depends on gm4 from devel/m4, have you tried
also rebuilding that?

I can try to help you, but please move further followups to private mail
to me.

I could have a look at a build log for libtool from your system.
