Gettext 0.10.40 and Textutils 2.0 don't mix.

[Mario Nigrovic]

Hello -

   I'm trying to compile the GNU suite, and I'm having some interesting
problems with Gettext and Textutils.

   When I compile textutils-2.0 against gettext-0.10.35 
(--with-included-gettext),
it compiles fine, but, when I compile against gettext-0.10.40
(--with-libiconv-prefix=/tools/GNU/003/SunOS_5.8), I get lots of complaints:

/tools/GNU/003/SunOS_5.8/bin/msgfmt -o el.mo /media/gnu/textutils-2.0/po/el.po

make[2]: *** [el.mo] Error 1

   Before I pointed gettext at libiconv, I had lots of warnings about
needing to install that library, but it still failed with similar
messages (albeit only 3 of them).

   BTW, I'm using an Ultra 30 running Solaris 2.8.

                                        Mario
