Dear Bernd Kuhls,

I've looked at your patch, and I don't think it's such a hack. It
really fixes the root of the problem: 1/ convince gettext that musl has
a valid gettext implementation so that it doesn't build/install its own
libintl library and 2/ convince the gettext.m4 logic in all packages
that the provided libintl implementation is good enough for them.

I have just one question.

Why is this part needed ? By passing ac_cv_gnu_library_2_1=yes and
ac_cv_gnu_library_2=yes, aren't you convincing gettext to not
build/install its libintl library ? If so, why is gettext still
installing its own libintl.h ?

Thanks!

Thomas
