This is still present.
I've now patched acinclude.m4 to detect the library properly (will add as
attachment); it's not ideal but it seems to work.

Also, like I feared, it introduces a dependency on libintl.so when building C++
programs - and g++ does not know to add libintl when linking. As a result,
failures are reported by autoconf tests that check whether the compiler can
produce executables.

Because of the latter, either gcc needs to duplicate some of the libstdc++
configury so that it can add -lintl (and -liconv where applicable) to its g++
link (and this seems a less-than-optimal thing to do), or libstdc++ needs to
improve its i18n checks (ideally using the regular gettext macros, and perhaps
rejecting any solution that requires extra libraries).
