This kind of error should be fixed by gettext 0.25.1.
We are currently running a build to verify that.

So far, out of the 68 failures detected by importing gettext 0.25 into f42
(as a proxy), most of them should be fixed by gettext + autoconf updates.
But there may be a few failures that went under the radar or need special
