As far as OpenBSD goes, we just build --disable-nls.
Having a compiler that works is the most important concern.
Especially if the nls has numerous problems to patch.
Niceties such as internationalized strings can be brought in later.
Especially assuming everything else works by then...
(This is the way our ports tree mostly work now for internationalized
applications. We bring a program in. If it works with nls, fine. If
there is trouble, just --disable-nls it. If somebody has time, reenable
nls and figure out what the problem was. But having a working application
is the priority)
