I've found a horrible kludge... after running configure, you edit
config.cache and say that gettext wasn't found in libc.. then re-run
configure and it'll try with -lintl ... But it works... (since gnu
gettext is linked static)

configure should look for more than just gettext (don't remember the
exact symbols missing, will check..)...
