I don't understand why you edited the command line so massively. It
should be enough to only remove the "test -n ... verstring". Did you try
that also?

Anyway, fixing something at that point is wrong. When libtool is built,
it must not include this -set_version option. I would look somewhere
over there to see how the devel/libtool package decides whether to use
the native linker or the GNU linker, and what options to set.
