In the gettext.spec there I see these lines:

It is a pity that you remove the support for Java.

It is a pity that you disable the support for C#.

It is a pity that you generate big executables. The default configuration of
gettext puts most of the code into shared libraries, so that the total
package size is small.

Unless the charset.alias file is coming from another package, this breaks
gettext and libintl on *all* platforms except those with glibc (Linux,
GNU/kFreeBSD etc.) The charset.alias file is an *essential* part of the
package.

This I don't understand: You port gettext but you throw away all message
catalogs?!

>     rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{l_prefix}/share/doc

This I don't understand either: You throw away the documentation. Is your
porting target an embedded system, like a telephone or a digital camera?
