>Description:
glibc provides the gettext(3) functions. In some cases it is wrong
to have gettext-lib also install libintl because sometimes linking
will be done with both and get errors like:

    multiple definition of `_nl_find_msg'
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
At one time with buildlink2, I had something like:

.if defined(USE_GNU_GETTEXT) && ${USE_GNU_GETTEXT} == "NEVER"
.  if defined(GNU_CONFIGURE)
CONFIGURE_ENV+=       ac_cv_lib_intl=no
.  endif
...
where it wouldn't allow it.

With default PREFER_NATIVE?=yes gettext-lib is still needed by gettext.
gettext can be built with just glibc.

My gettext-lib has:

.if ${OPSYS} == "Linux"
# glibs provides own, for example errors may include:
# multiple definition of `_nl_find_msg'
# XXX check for functions?
PKG_FAIL_REASON= "gettext(3) functions are part of your GLIBC."

Maybe we could have a LINUX_ALLOW_GETTEXT_LIB setting.
But I still need the buildlink?.mk to not force it too.

I tried
BUILDLINK_IS_BUILTIN.gettext=YES in my mk.conf but that didn't help,
so I also added:
BUILDLINK_CHECK_BUILTIN.gettext=YES

Is there a way to get that to be automatic on glibc systems?
Maybe that should be in the defs.Linux.mk ??
