It works for me on openSUSE 11.0 Linux/x86_64.

A buildlog that runs mysterious commands that are not available on my machine
would not help. You need to provide "HOW TO REPRODUCE" instructions!

Now, please reproduce with me:
  1) Fetch gettext-0.18.1.1.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org.
  2) $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-rpath 
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
  3) Verify there no rpath options in the config.status files:
     $ grep '\-rpath' gettext-runtime/config.status gettext-tools/config.status 
  4) $ make
  5) $ make install DESTDIR=/tmp/inst4
  6) $ readelf -d /tmp/inst4/usr/bin/msgexec
     $ readelf -d /tmp/inst4/usr/bin/xgettext
     $ readelf -d /tmp/inst4/usr/lib64/libgettextlib-0.18.1.so
     $ readelf -d /tmp/inst4/usr/lib64/libgettextsrc-0.18.1.so
     I don't see any tag of type RPATH in there.

Conclusion: Works for me.
