Nope. grep for gettext.m4 in */*.m4 in uberbaum and you'll see how

I'd rather have the right version picked up by default. Heck, not
shipping the gettext.m4 needed to rebuild aclocal.m4 could even be
construed as a violation of the GNU GPL, since we're shipping a
generated file without its sources.
