Sent this to coreutils, but it didn't 'echo' back...(in > 15 minutes)

Is it working correctly?

I just subscribed to it, so I'm pretty sure I have the right
address and such...

the bug-coreutils note got ack'ed back in 2 minutes,
w/your reply coming ~30 minutes later.

Tried doing a re-bootstrap, but am getting several odd messages:

As near as I can tell my gettext lib is v0.19.2...So the messages about
gettext 0.16.1 don't seem to apply. 

So not sure why it is failing?

thanks...
