You don't get any error message. The check simply considers that no libc other than glibc has a suitable gettext. The check is broken. That's why the check has been fixed upstream (in an incremented version). Yes, you're correct that many GNU packages need to bump up the version of the check. It's totally non-unique to libidn2. Other packages include bison and popt. Helmut
