Yes, it does. I'm not so sure that after moving it to the top it still
would, at least not out-of-the-box: Cygnus configure does not support
many --disable options.

Can you point to a specific problem? It may be possible to solve
it... To work-around any K&R problems (if there are any), I'd rather
recommend not building libintl in stage 1 - although I'm pretty sure
that this code builds on K&R compilers just fine; it is used in *many*
GNU package, some of which certainly have been compiled by K&R
compilers over the years.
