Bug#224541: gettext does not compile on linux (possibly also a bug in autoconf) (fwd)

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

Received this last year. Submitter says he uses

    -W -Wall -pedantic -W -Wall -pedantic -Waggregate-return
    -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wmissing-declarations
    -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmultichar -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith
    -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -Wstrict-prototypes -Wundef
    -Wwrite-strings -Wdiv-by-zero -Wfloat-equal -Wendif-labels
    -Wdisabled-optimization

as CFLAGS and he can reproduce the problem with gettext 0.13.1 as well.

Tags: patch
