Looks like the word LIBTOOL-COMMAND contains an empty string (you can confirm this by SEEing this word). My guess is that Fedora configured Gforth without libtool being present. Workaround: Install libtool and install Gforth from the tarball (or, if you are adventurous, from the git repository). - anton
