Hmm ... I don't know why this is caused, but I would run:

emerge --oneshot -av libtool

and then

revdep-rebuild -v -- --ask

libtool is already installed, was your approach to re emerge it?

I tried to emerge libtool and i detected some seriously weird behaviour, emerge configures libtool over an over in an infinite loop...
this is where the process resets:

if i don't interrupt it just keep going, i think there is something seriously wrong with my system...

Have you run `lafilefixer`?
I run `sudo bash -c 'lafilefixer --justfixit && revdep-rebuild'` after every upgrade.
It may not be necessary every time, but it won't break anything. Probably worth a go.
Package is dev-util/lafilefixer if it's not already installed.
Stroller.

And maybe needs to run gcc-config and /sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh too
just to be sure...

You said you just installed gentoo. Have you ever emerged any package on that machine
before? That is, was it working okay and then something broke it?

What version of python are you using -- you may have version 2.x and version 3.x.
If so, you should be using python 2.x when emerging things.

Portage should run lafilefixer on its own these days. The fixlafiles is one
of the default FEATURES.

Only if he has upgraded gcc. There should have been relevant enotices at the
time of the emerge.

I only read of that on this list in the last few weeks, so had assumed it had come of ~x86, but not yet x86.

Stroller.
