One immediate issue I noticed is:

...

We how have a dependency on libtoolize program in both the boehm_gc and
libatomic_ops directories.  (OS X users should note that libtoolize is
*not* provided as part of Apple's developer tools and that if you
install the MacPorts libtools package the executables are actually named
"glibtools" and "glibtoolize".)

Cheers,
Julien.
