Okay, the build on Lucid now gets further along, but... then fails
on xgettext segfaulting.  Pfff!

$ xgettext --version | head -1
xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.17

Well, can't do anything about that.  But looking around a bit in
the po subdir, I saw this in Makevars:

 --keyword=__\
 -k__\

That looks like a duplicate.  (Better change al -k to --keyword?)

And this one is duplicated for sure:

 --flag=printf_to_message_buffer:1:c-format

No harm, but it looks... sloppy.


The segfault doesn't have to anything with those options, though:

$ /usr/bin/xgettext --files-from=po/POTFILES.in
Segmentation fault

This is the one file:

$ /usr/bin/xgettext tp/Texinfo/Convert/HTML.pm
Segmentation fault

But never mind that.  xgettext-0.18.1 on Mint Petra doesn't segfault.
