I ran into that, too.  The problems here are threefold:

1.  The install-sh and other libtool stuff does not have the execute  
permissions set.
2.  The "gcc/BASE-VER" does not get created for some reason.
3.  The libtool stuff may not be correct for Mac OS.

I did the following:

(a)  I chmod'd the various "install-sh" scripts.
(b)  I created a "src/runtime/gcc" directory, and created a file  
called "BASE-VER" containing the text '4'.
(c)  I updated the libtool scripts with the current stuff from the  
Mac OS developer tools, then when that didn't work I erased the  
directory and re-got everything from darcs.

Don't know if that will help, but it might get you a few steps  
farther...

Thanks,
