GNU Libtool does work properly in the Mac OS X environment. The fact that
you installed in /usr and overwrote a completely different program (Apple's
libtool) is something that GNU libtool should deal with one day, but had you
read your man pages you would not have done that...

If you really must install GNU libtool into /usr (and I advise against it)
you should do something like:

./configure --prefix=/usr --program-prefix=g
make
sudo make install

This is what Apple does when building GNU libtool, and what most package
tools do too. Some packagers also add a symlink libtoolize -> glibtoolize,
you may wish to do so too.
