I'm getting this too. Workaround was to copy the configure line that the
buildroot makefile spits out, add LDFLAGS="-lintl" to the front of it, and
reconfigure and make manually.

Attached a proposed patch.

Can you post your part of config.log file? 

I have arm configuration and it works without applying your patch.
-lintl is added on configure step when checking for gettext:
configure:7201: checking for GNU gettext in libintl

I'm now getting this error in the most recent snapshot (2008-04-24), as
seen below.  I have not applied the submitted patch yet; I would have
thought that this problem would be fixed in the most recent snapshot but
apparently it is still outstanding.  This was done on a machine that had
no problem building a rootfs a month ago with the most recent snapshot
back then.

Tail of console log:
