It is documented in section "`Makefile.in' in `src/'", item 5:

     You should ensure that the final linking will use address@hidden@' or
     address@hidden@' as a library.  address@hidden@' is for use without
     `libtool', address@hidden@' is for use with `libtool'.

gettextize 0.11 does add intl to SUBDIRS when there is a Makefile.am.
