 It's libtool that does that. The only way to figure out what happened
 is to get the real post-wrappers command line from work/.work.log and
 run that manually without the redirection. Sometimes you can do it by
 running make build-env and running the pre-wrappers command line
 without the redirection.
 
 Or if we're lucky the problem will have disappeared in the past six
 years.
 
 Either way it's unlikely that this can be diagnosed without a macppc
 build box, which I don't have. :-/
