This is a very well know bug of gettext. If someone wants to use
gettext, do not use 0.10.35, rather, going into a recent file, shell
or text util, and steal gettext from there.
In fact, when you fetch a gettextized package, you should force it to
use those files.
I've been told Bruno Haible is now taking care of wrapping a new
release of gettext. It will be the right time to have autoreconf run
gettextize, so that people will be able to
tar zxvf
cd
autoreconf --install --force
./configure
make
make install (prefix=/foo ;)
and have it right. That's the goal, but hm, it's gonna be... tough.
