Yes, exactly. Just like the workaround for GNU wget: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2025-09/msg00000.html Alternatively, you can make the AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION macro invocation unconditional. This macro was introduced in gettext 0.19.6, in 2015. All distros nowadays, that are meant to be used for development, ship this version or newer. https://repology.org/project/gettext/versions In other words, the m4_ifdef invocation was a protection against gettext versions < 0.19.6, which are virtually nonexistent nowadays. > but isn't this an autopoint bug? No. The autopoint documentation states that it recognizes AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION invocations with parentheses. Here it still looks like an invocation despite the missing parentheses, because in m4 the argument list is always optional. autopoint does not (and will not) recognize m4_ifdef invocations; this would be too much effort.
