The reason seems to be in improper location of "-lintl".
Incase of static linkage it should be after (on left side) object files that
call symbols of the library.

In other words following command line will work:
--->---
arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc -static quotastats.o common.o pot.o
-lintl  -o quotastats
--->---

In its turn "-lintl" is put in the beginning of command line because it's a
part of LDFLAGS in quota's Makefile. And in "package/quota/quota.mk" we
explicitly set it with "QUOTA_LDFLAGS += -lintl".

So the only proper fix I may think of is modification of quota's Makefile.in so
that libraries are appended in the end of link command separately from LDFLAGS
or move LDFLAGS in the end.
