Subject: Bug#162697: gettext: libintl blindly expects config.h

Package: gettext
Version: 0.11.5-1
Severity: normal

When HAVE_CONFIG_H is defined, both the Makefile.in and source code in
/usr/share/gettext/intl/ assume that AC_CONFIG_HEADER was given the
string "config.h" as an argument. If instead it is "include/config.h"
or "include/setup.h" then libintl won't build. The solution is
probably something along these lines:

#ifdef CONFIG_H_FILENAME
#include CONFIG_H_FILENAME
#else
#include <config.h>
#endif

Or, failing that, to generate config-stub.h in the Makefile like this:
config-stub.h: Makefile
        echo '#include "$(CONFIG_H_FILENAME)"' > config-stub.h

Plus a similar modification to the rule for building $(OBJECTS), and
all the necessary modifications to the autoconf macros to define the
necessary variables.
