CVS logs tell me that Ben added the BC, to quote:

----------------------------
revision 1.8
date: 2007/03/14 19:41:34;  author: rangerrick;  state: Exp;  lines:  
+1 -0
gettext is ccache/distcc-unfriendly
----------------------------

Unfortunately, this message does not really tell me in which way it is  
"unfriendly." I haven't been able to find out anything else. Ben, do  
you remember what prompted you to make this change?

If nobody can recall what it was, I think we should remove the BC, and  
wait for bug reports. If we are lucky, there are none. Otherwise, we  
can document the issue in the .info file and come up with a fix (in  
the worst case, re-adding the BC, but this time with a comment  
explaining it).

Bye,
Max
