[bug-gettext] Can't compile on Windows: multiple definition of relocate2

[Michele Locati]

I'm trying to cross-compile gettext-tools 0.20-rc1 with mxe (like I
did for gettext 0.19.8.1), but I have this error:

libtool: link: i686-w64-mingw32.static-gcc -g -O2

I really don't know how to fix this issue...

To replicate this error:
- I use Ubuntu 18.04
- checkout the gettext-0.20 branch of
https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows
- run this command:
./compile-iconv-gettext-windows.sh --iconv 1.15 --gettext 0.20-rc1
--bits 32 --link static
