Hi Gary,
I started looking, but found that your bootstrap.conf is
months old, and thus not usable with the current sources.
Do you feel like rebasing it?

If it's a gettext problem, report it and it should be fixed very quickly.
Otherwise, just adjust the AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18.1]) line
in configure.ac to accommodate whatever version of gettext you have.
You should be ok if it's 0.17.x.

POSIX stopped requiring them back in 1003.1-2001.
Since they have not been required for POSIX-conformance for 10 years...
