libtool hardcodes locations of tools when you build it, so if you have
changed settings afterwards you need to rebuild libtool.

Really, as soon as you change any mk.conf setting you should rebuild
all of your packages, as there is no way to know what has been
affected by the change, unless it is something like changing a package
option for a leaf package.
