I don't really like to do this. It's a lot better if we can avoid
gettext-gnu entirely if NLS is disabled. So I'd prefer if we could
stick to one of the two options I proposed in my reply to your v3:

Option 1: we fix ecryptfs-utils to not unconditionally use gettext.

Option 2: we improve gettext-tiny so that it provides a fake gettext
implementation, and we allow gettext-tiny as a gettext implementation
for the target.

Best regards,

Thomas
