--- Comment #19 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Yes. Currently configure has a broken check for libintl that gives the wrong result if you have GNU gettext installed as well as glibc, and we only do that check when USE_NLS=yes. For GNU/Linux we always need textdomain even with --disable-nls so always need the libintl check.
