But probably not when *not* having the underlying tools installed:

Disabled by autoconf ?  Alas, I don't think so:

(cd intl && make all)
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/toon/compilers/snapshots/build/gcc/intl'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/toon/compilers/snapshots/build/gcc/intl'
test -d po || mkdir po
: --statistics ../../combined/gcc/po/sv.po -o po/sv.gmo
/bin/sh ../../combined/gcc/move-if-change po/sv.gmo
../../combined/gcc/po/sv.gmo
mv: po/sv.gmo: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [po/sv.gmo] Error 1

[ Note the : --statistics ]
