Thanks for the report. As a workaround, you can replace every occurrence of

   #if defined __STDC__ && __STDC__

in lib/obstack.h with

   #if 1

This is already fixed in gnulib, and will be fixed in the next gettext
release.

This is normal. The MSVC compiler gives many warnings where it is not
appropriate to warn.
