A sane build system is _supposed_ to fail repeatedly in the _same_ way if you 
don’t change anything.  If you have been running “fink selfupdate” between 
attempts, you’ll be getting the same failure because you haven’t had changes.

Possibly completely irrelevant.  Just because they are two different versions 
of the same package doesn’t mean they have identical build procedures.

You removed the context for this error from above what you posted.  However, 
check whether you have libtool2 installed (“fink list libtool2”).  If not, 
install it.  If you do have that installed, then we’ll need to see more of the 
output.
