Thanks for your help!  Disabling all of NLS was surely an extreme
work-around, but the best I could manage at the time with inadequate
understanding of the issues.

That's much better.

(I wish that `configure --help' gave a complete list of acceptable FOO
and BAR for options of the form --(en|dis)able-FOO and
--with(out)-BAR.  Is there some way of easily getting this
information?  Is there some way I could easily have learned about the
`--without-included-gettext' option?)

IMO, `--without-included-gettext' is a good work around.
I'll update the BP project page.

BP programs are statically linked at this time.  These are the link
errors I get.  (I expect that non-BP static linking will have the same trouble)
