Right - the makefile is passing GNU libtool the wrong options on OS X.
There are some other problems too if you use a framework build
(--enable-framework) of Python, which you probably didn't run into.
The framework stuff is necessary if you want to be able to use Tkinter
or wxPython.

The attached patch should fix the problems with Python, and permit
both Python and Tcl interfaces to work with framework builds.  You
need to use the Fink version of GNU libtool (or manually apply Fink's
patches to the corresponding libtool version).  Let me know if you
have any questions...

BTW, if you run into the long long problem I did with Mk4py (affects
all platforms, not just Mac OS X), let me know and I can send you some
preliminary patches.  Mk4py's treatment of Python ints/longs is
broken, and I am currently working on a more thorough patch that
correctly handles overflows.
