Wouldn't adding @INTLLIBS@ into ch/Makefile.in:LIBS do the job? Or
alternatively, follow the guidance of cp/Makefile.in, and define 

INTLLIBS = @INTLLIBS@

and then add this to all places in ch/Makefile.in where INTLLIBS is
added in the cp Makefile (i.e. LIBS and LIBDEPS).

P.S. What is the rationale for indirecting every configure variable
through a Makefile variable?
