Bug encountered in build of gettext version 0.17 under MinGW-w64

[Tilton, James C. (GSFC-6063)]

My build of version 0.17 of gettext encountered an error of "too many arguments 
to function 'mkdir' at line 277 of tempname.c

I was able to get the build to proceed successfully past this point with the 
hack of replacing

     fd = __mkdir ( tmpl, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IXUSR);

with

   fd = __mkdir ( tmpl);

at line 277 of gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/tempname.c

It appears that this problem occurs because the redefinition of mkdir around 
line 276 of gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/sys_stat.h is not picked up.

The build later failed due to the symbols rpl_optarg and rpl_optind not being 
found.

I'm now investigating this problem - but please let me know if anyone knows a 
workaround for this latter problem.
