I just installed a fix for this.

Could you please describe,

  (a) how you configured your tree, and
  (b) what OS you are using?

I just tried this on Red Hat Linux 6.0:

  $ env CC=gcc 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -g' LDFLAGS= 'LINGUAS=de es fr it' \
	'INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -c' 'INSTALL_DATA=/usr/bin/install -c -m 644' \
	'INSTALL_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/install -c -m 755' \
    /bin/sh ../egcs-19990829/configure i586-redhat6-linux-gnu --srcdir=../egcs-19990829 \
	    --prefix=/opt/gnu --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-shared		\
	    --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-java-gc=boehm		\
	    --enable-fast-character --enable-threads=posix --with-local-prefix=/opt/gnu \
	    --enable-nls --verbose
    ...
    checking whether NLS is requested... yes
    checking whether included gettext is requested... no
    checking for libintl.h... yes
    checking for gettext in libc... yes
    ...
    checking whether included gettext is requested... no
    checking for libintl.h... (cached) yes
    checking for gettext in libc... (cached) yes

AND there is NO link in gcc/intl.

Perhaps, gettext is not properly installed on your system.
