I beg to differ.

. The version on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/sharutils contains oldish .po
  files (nl.po and pt.po have control escape problems; weak header
  entries).  Maybe, the archive on 'alpha' is newer even if the
  timestamps don't say so?

. By now more translations are available at UMontreal.

. It would be nice to have intl/ updated.

Here's Makoto Fujiwara's report (I guess it was already forwarded to
you):

From: address@hidden (Makoto Fujiwara)
Subject: gettext-0.10.35 and sharutils-4.2.1 (NetBSD/macppc)
Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1999 01:38:19 +0900

I was trying to get sharutils-4.2.1 to work,
I needed gettext-0.10.35.

(1) gettext-.10.35/config.guess and config.sub
I think gettext had (obsolete?) config.guess and config.sub.
So I grabbed the those from other package,
   147  0:20    cp gimp-1.1.11/config.sub gettext-0.10.35/
   150  0:21    cp gtk+-1.2.5/config.guess gettext-0.10.35/

address@hidden  0:27:15/991201(...src-harry/gettext-0.10.35)> ls -l config.sub 
config.guess
-rwxr-xr-x  1 makoto  wheel  31247 Dec  1 00:21 config.guess*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 makoto  wheel  24171 Dec  1 00:20 config.sub*

This solves the following message,
address@hidden  1:29:58/991201(...src-harry/gettext-0.10.35)> ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
.......
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `macppc-unknown-netbsd1.3J': 
machine `macppc-unknown' not recognized
.......
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
address@hidden  1:30:31/991201(...src-harry/gettext-0.10.35)> 
Am I correct ?

(2) sharutils-4.2.1
I got  following two Errors, which I did not have with
NetBSD/sparc, I belive,

| /usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o nl.mo nl.po
|  file=./`echo nl | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo  && rm -f $file && 
/usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o $file nl.po
| /usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o pt.mo pt.po
| pt.po:415: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'
| pt.po:419: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'
| found 2 fatal errors
| *** Error code 1
....
| making all in po
| /usr/local/bin/msgfmt -o pt.mo pt.po
| pt.po:419: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not both end with '\n'
| found 1 fatal errors

I have changes two files. Am I doing correct thing ?
