Sure, but in the case of IRIX and OSF, configure found the gettext
routines by linking against -lintl. If that works, it ought to set
INTLLIBS accordingly. My hardcoding of -lintl wasn't meant to be a
general solution. I just meant to demonstrate that configure should
be setting this when it's required to find gettext routines. (Again, I
don't know why it doesn't look in -lintl for dcgettext.)

You may be right about that. My personal suspicion is that the
autoconf rules associated with gettext are broken. I suppose that's
not your problem.

Well, actually it's an international laboratory. Less than 1/4 of our
staff are native English speakers. Point taken, though.
