bootstrap fails on Darwin for `libtool'

[Werner LEMBERG]

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.
