The bash 5.0 release still ships with very old autoconf macros to
detect gettext.  In aclocal.m4, the copy of gettext.m4 and the
supporting lib-link.m4 are from gettext-0.12 dating from 2003.

In particular, the included version of AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_BODY cannot
detect shared libraries on OpenBSD.  (It checks for *.so; OpenBSD
only has fully numbered libraries: *.so.0.0, etc.)

These macros should be updated to newer versions from a recent
release of gettext.
