Thanks, this is a problem in at least two GNOME libraries. I posted
the solution to gnome-vfs and glade-users (and maybe also to gnome-devel if
it turns out that it affects more packages).

I think it would be a good idea to mention `bind_textdomain_codeset'
(and all other functions that are affected) along with `ngettext' in
gettext.m4 (and AM_GNU_GETTEXT in the manual).
