This is not correct. getopt.c assumes that you add gettext.h (in gnulib) to your package. But gettext.h doesn't assume that a gettext() function or a <libintl.h> is available; it doesn't even assume that you use the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro to test for the gettext() function. (Of course you are welcome to do so :-)). This is like with many other headers provided by gnulib: they provide some functionality not present in your system, or sometimes only dummy replacements, but in all cases the goal is to have a single #include line for each feature that you use. #include "gettext.h" follows this principle.
