Yep, that's also why I didn't notice the failures. I'm now configuring with
--with-included-gettext which will force the use of the included libintl.
BTW, as Gerald's failure report for SuSE Linux showed, there is another
lurking bug in the code for AM_GNU_GETTEXT. When configure determines
that libc has what is needed, but that the gettext tools are missing, it'll
nevertheless activate the use of libintl. As I've been told by a collegue,
that's a very long standing bug in gettext (approx 2 years). I've tried to
track it down, but the gettext/NLs configury isn't exactly easy to
understand.

It definitely is. Jeff and I agreed approx. a year ago that in the long run
it should move there.

The patches I'll be checking in in an hour or so will eliminate that
problem, as chill's Makefile.in will now be processed by configure.

In terms of partially translating catalogs for binutils, yes, but not with
the configury. Funny thing is, that NLS support is enabled by default, at
least in CVS. But binutils is a different animal, because libbfd and
libopcode both have their own catalogs and then a third catalog for the
programs.
