I tried your gettext 0.16.1 patch, and ran into problems as I have sysutils/coreutils installed with NLS enabled. The issue is that coreutils installs a /usr/local/bin/gmkdir which uses the gettext library. An upgrade of gettext fails as the gettext configure process prefers gmkdir over mkdir, but the deinstall deletes the gettext library, so the subsequent install can't work as gmkdir doesn't work without the old library being installed! The correct fix is probably a patch to the gettext configure script to disable the check for gmkdir. Thanks, Peterhelp
