I think part of the problem is with obstack.c using `_' for
the error handler.  It is short but open to namespace conflicts.

That would be fine with me.  There is also Jim Wilson's suggestion
to undefine HAVE_LIBINTL_H when GENERATOR_FILE is defined.

I am still a puzzled as to what generator programs can and can't link
with.  It seems to be ok to link with libc on the build system but
not libintl.  The build system in this case has an installed version
of libintl so we don't need a build-libintl.  I can see gcc needs
a special version of libintl when build!=host but surely generator
programs only are intended to run on the build system.
