After OS upgrade to 6.3, libtool15 configure hangs at f771 test

[Peter Olsson]

We are upgrading some servers from 6.2 to 6.3, and after reboot
with 6.3 we upgrade ports with, among others, this command:
portmaster -bdr gettext\*

A couple of servers upgraded with no problems, but now I have a
server hanging while trying to run configure for libtool.
The hang always occurs after this line:
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler...

$ uname -a
FreeBSD xxx 6.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p2 #0: Sat Jul 12 00:55:02 CEST 2008     root at xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Below are ps auxwww while hanging, and the portmaster output.

This is not a big problem for us, I'm just interested if anyone
knows a fix or workaround for this hang. Google was not helpful.

I tried pkg_delete and then make all in /usr/ports/devel/libtool15,
but that also hangs at the same line in configure.

Thanks!
