Hello,

What makes you think libintl disappears from uClibc-ng? uClibc-ng has
recently *added* libintl support.

Basically, today we have the following situation:

 * glibc comes with its own libintl implementation, which is
   full-featured

 * uClibc-ng until recently did not have any libintl implementation, so
   we are building the libintl from gettext to get a libintl
   implementation. uClibc-ng has recently added a stub libintl
   implementation, which does not support translation, i.e it's really
   just a stub.

 * musl has a libintl implementation. It is not a stub, and seems to
   support translation (i.e it seems to read .mo files for
   translations, etc.).

Best regards,

Thomas
