Why is gettext dependent on installing libgcj?
gettext has a large number of text handling capabilities which presumably relies upon certain routines packages in libgcj. To find out exactly which ones, compile the source for getext, remove the reference to libgcj from the link resources in the make file and then try to link gettext without it. the diagnostics will be very informative, one way or another. :-)
Found this related bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76670
Gettext RPMs for other distros, (ie: http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/cooker/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/gettext-0.11.5-2mdk.i586.html) don't have this dependency.
Looking at the source, it seems like gcj is needed for it's java-to-native compiler. I don't know why a java compiler is needed, since python, tcl, etc. compilers aren't needed to generate those language backends.
