Hmm, I see. I removed all the deps but gettext from the tree.
This leaves gettext-runtime fulfilling the previous role of intl/.
However, I'm confused about how this worked before, in that case, since,
IIRC, intl also produced libraries and was also put into host exports.
Leaving gettext in tree produces:
Could not load program gawk:
Dependent module
/home/arsen/build/./gettext/intl/.libs/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) could not be
loaded.
Member libintl.so.8 is not found in archive
I'll try to see why intl/ didn't cause the same issue soon.
Thanks, have a lovely evening.
