OpenBSD provides its own libtool that we really want to use.
I thought I saw a LIBTOOL=$(topbuildir)/libtool or something like that,
but I must have dreamed...

-lstdc++ works, but I also need -lm. I can live with that, though.
FYI, you can find the ports at:
http://ekyo.nerim.net/openbsd/ports/geos.tgz
http://ekyo.nerim.net/openbsd/ports/postgis.tgz

There are a few other patches that you might want to integrate into
your tree, but IMHO, it is generaly better to let packagers write small
patches than making the configure process too complicated.
