The use of otool is completely new in PAR::Packer 1.30 - before it used
to guess (and often got it wrong). But if otool doesn't seem to be available
(tested with "otool --version"), it should fall back to the previous method.
OK, there are two issues here: detection of otool failed on your build
machine (easily fixed) and the fallback method isn't complete (needs some thinking).
