I applied, but in a much more simplified form: only change the
condition to pass LIBS=-lintl. It's not lightning itself that needs
gettext, but only the fact that binutils uses it, and forgets to link
with libintl. So I don't think we need/should express the dependency
against gettext in lightning, only pass LIBS=-lintl when needed.
See

Thanks!
