Yes. It provides libintl so's in /usr/pkg/lib. I have no other libintl
files around.
Am I incorrect in thinking that the culprit is too aggressive munging of
commands in the toolchain wrappers? If I'm reading the .work.log
correctly, the ultimate link command doesn't include -L/usr/pkg/lib.
(Several other packages fail to build with similar failures to link to
extant libraries on the same machine, as well.)

I'll do this later today.
