It works, much thanks: I was able to build and install gettext, and pass
all tests of "make check". Then rebuild libiconv and see iconv localized
using libintl.so.2 (thru ldd). Next tried to build some other apps: Slrn
both 0.9.7.4 and 0.9.8.0 full success (this last release dropped
integrated gettext).

Now tried a serious app: linux_logo 4.07 failed:

| /tmp/linux_logo-4.07>$ make
| [...]
| gcc -O2 -Wall -I./libsysinfo-0.0.7 -o linux_logo linux_logo.o vmw_string.o

| make: *** [linux_logo] Error 1

Another problem with Mutt 1.4 with many patches:

| /tmp/mutt-1.4>$ make
| cd . && aclocal -I m4
| aclocal: /usr/local/share/aclocal/lib-prefix.m4: 16: duplicated macro 
`AC_LIB_ARG_WITH'
| make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

Note this same Mutt patchset was building fine before gettext 0.12.1
install, even localized with the integrated gettext. Note also Mutt 1.4
nude without patches builds OK, make not doing the aclocal stuff.
