How come that gettext 0.18.1.1 builds fine for me, but not for Markus Moeller
and you?

In <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-06/msg00057.html>
you reported a link error regarding '_xmlFree'. I got the same error initially,
so I passed the option --with-included-libxml to configure, and then the
build works fine for me. But you reported a failure in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2010-06/msg00061.html>.

Please compare your settings with mine. I have:

And I used the following commands for building gettext 0.18.1.1:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/cygwin --with-included-libxml 
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/cygwin/include -Wall" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/cygwin/lib"
$ make
$ make install
$ make check
# All tests in gettext-runtime and gettext-tools pass, except lang-tcl.

If you have libcroco installed, you may also need to pass
--with-included-libcroco.

For reference, so that you can compare with your configure results, find
attached the config.status files that I got.

Where do you got this information from? The error message in
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00082.html> is a signal 6 (= abort
= internal bug) in 'ld'.

Charles Wilson's interpretation of the error message in
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00149.html> was proven wrong in
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00157.html>.
