I think the right way to do (b) is:

  make NO_GETTEXT=Yes

which will override anything we do in config.mak.uname (and likewise,
anything from autoconf will override it, if we have a test there).

Still, it will be a surprise to packagers in (a), who assume that
installing libintl and then building git is enough to have gettext
support (now they would actively need to override NO_GETTEXT).
