This is not a bug in GNU gettext. The problem comes from the obsolete
macros AM_GLIB_WITH_NLS and AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT in
glade-1.1.0/aclocal.m4. It would work if the package was using the GNU
gettext 0.11.2 macros instead, and invoking it using
AM_GNU_GETTEXT([need-ngettext]). (The bind_textdomain_codeset function
was introduced at the same time as ngettext, therefore the requirement
for bind_textdomain_codeset is equivalent to the requirement for
ngettext.)

Use "nm --dynamic libc-2.1.3.so".
