Is NO_STRLCPY still a problem with a fresh clone (and putting
NO_GETEXT=YesPlease in your config.mak)? I still do not understand
why you were getting those warnings; AFAICT it should not be happening!
Also, Torsten could not reproduce.

As far as NO_GETTEXT is concerned, I have to defer to someone who has
experience on that platform (I have _zero_ experience on OS X).
