gettext-0.11.5: "make install" breaks system

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

On SGI IRIX 6.5, a build and installation of gettext-0.11.5 broke the
operating system because of this step in the installation:

        (cd /usr/local/lib && rm -f libintl.so.3 && ln -s libintl.so.3.0 
libintl.so.3)
        859842:ln: rld: Fatal Error: Cannot Successfully map soname
        'libintl.so.3' under any of the filenames
        /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.3:/usr/libn32/libintl.so.3:/libn
        
32/libintl.so.3:/usr/local/libn32/libintl.so.3:/usr/lib32/libintl.so.3:/usr/lib3
        
2/internal/libintl.so.3:/lib32/libintl.so.3:/opt/lib32/libintl.so.3:/usr/local/l
        
ib/libintl.so.3.3:/usr/libn32/libintl.so.3.3:/libn32/libintl.so.3.3:/usr/local/l
        
ibn32/libintl.so.3.3:/usr/lib32/libintl.so.3.3:/usr/lib32/internal/libintl.so.3.
        3:/lib32/libintl.so.3.3:/opt/lib32/libintl.so.3.3:

The removal of libintl.so.3 prevents ln from running when ln itself
was built from GNU coreutils, and the entire system is then horribly
broken because large numbers of executables in $(prefix)/bin,
including cp, ln, ls, rm, ... no longer have their required shared
libraries.

One safe way to do the installation is to use /bin/rm and /bin/ln.

To avoid the need for modification of the gettext distribution, I used
this workaround:

        env PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH make install
