 * No, Elm not needs this lib at all, better variant is remove this lib from
 * /usr/local/lib, because intl is part of libc.

Maybe it's better to fix elm to not look at it at all?  At least
finding it and not using it (because it didn't give -L/usr/local/lib
to the linker) doesn't seem right at all.

Or is it a problem with all autoconf-generated configure scripts?  If
so, I guess I agree that it's the system with /usr/local/lib/libintl.* 
that are "oddballs" and have to be fixed....
