Hi,

The report included two patches to choose from. One of them is a patch
to the Debian packaging so that it uses autoreconf.
Just clarifying for a broader audience:
On Debian, using autoreconf required a change to one upstream file [1]
because the libtool macros are shipped with 'link_all_libdeps=no'.
Therefore that patch [2] just added in *_LDADD the missing libdep listed
in *_DEPENDENCIES (libgettextlib.la), plus libunistring in one case.
It's reasonable for upstream not to consider it, since it is required
due to a change downstream.
So: Would be possible to release a gettext version using latest
libtool so that I do not need to add any special hack in the Debian
package? (Or maybe this is not even fixed in libtool yet?)
This was fixed in libtool (as of [3]), and incorporated in v2.4.2.418.
