First, the two .in are due to the strange things gettext does to
create its makefiles.

The problem you mention is real, and is a bug in GNU gettext. I'll
have a look.

There is not much we can do here: in general, special /usr/X11Rxx
directories hold newer versions than system ones. Here you have old
broken files laying around. Thus the need to use --x-libraries. 

BTW, is xmkmf in your path? In this case, it is used by autoconf to
find X.

Already fixed (for next version).

This one is a harmless bug in xform's fdesign. I already sent it to
them, and they said they'll fix it.
