This is a byproduct of the new dynamic root layout in -CURRENT. 
Basically, older versions of libtool try to do file on
/usr/lib/libc.so.  Recent versions of -CURRENT put libc.so in /lib. 
Therefore, this fails.  I haven't noticed any real problems because of
this, but I have reported it to the libtool maintainer, ade_at_.

Configure arguments?  No.  However, you can use the -m option to pass
make arguments (e.g. -DWITH_FOO).  To pass configure arguments, you'd
have to edit the port Makefiles directly.
