To be clear, gettext tools are used in two ways in building new releases: * xgettext is run to update gcc.pot and cpplib.pot. * GCC is built with --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir, which uses msgfmt to create .gmo files and copy them into the source directory for packaging. Do you need new gettext versions to be used for both of these steps, or just one? Could you submit to gcc-patches appropriate refinements to the configure tests in config/po.m4 to enforce the use of sufficiently new gettext where required? (GCC maintainers don't run msgmerge; we download merged .po files from the TP website.) -- Joseph S. Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
