gdb-5.3 compile failure on i386-unknown-freebsd4.7

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

Hello all,

I have found no reference of this in the mail archives or in the bug database,
but please correct me if I'm wrong.

When building gdb-5.3 on a (rather minimalist) i386-unknown-freebsd4.7 box, 
the build fails in <build>/bfd/po with 
msgfmt: not found

GNU gettext is not installed - and I frankly don't want it to be as this is
supposed to be a minimalist system.

Pointers would be very welcome. If you want, I'll add it to the bug database.
