Unable to build node-sass as part of 'yarn install' on Mac OSX

I am trying to test the functionality in this pull request, which is not in a release yet.

When I do a fresh repository clone and run yarn install on Mac OSX, I get this output.

From what I can tell, the problem is in installing node-sass, which fails here:

It seems to be a problem with my libtool, but I have made sure that it is the latest available on brew. Is there a workaround or fix for this issue?

I found the problem: libtool was no longer pointing to Xcode. Some misconfiguration in brew meant that it was calling /usr/local/Cellar/libtool/2.4.6_1/bin/glibtool

Ah, that’ll be why - I still need to update to High Sierra. I will do that, update my Xcode CLI tools and report back.
