Removing the casts, yes. Thanks. But using
   (gettext ("") != 0)
in an AC_TRY_LINK is not future-proof: gcc already knows that some functions
like strchr() want a non-NULL pointer as argument. In the near future, gcc
may also know that gettext() always returns a non-NULL result and optimize
   (gettext ("") != 0)
to 'true', thus annihilating the purpose of the AC_TRY_LINK.

Using
   * gettext ("")
seems safer to me.
