[gettext-0.11.5] AC_CHECK_FUNCS( bind_textdomain_codeset ngettext ) not detecting them

[Rapp, Perry]

Summary: My AC_CHECK_FUNCS for bind_textdomain_codeset & ngettext is
failing

*****
What I have:
*****

I'm using cygwin, 

$ gettext --version
 gettext (GNU gettext) 0.11.5

grep ngettext /usr/include/*.h

yields lots of hits in libintl.h -- I could quote them, or I could send
a copy
of my libintl.h. I looked in it for a version number, but couldn't find
one.

My intl subdirectory in my package is 0.11.2, eg,

$ cat intl/VERSION
 GNU gettext library from gettext-0.11.2

grep ngettext intl/*.h

yields hits in intl/gettextP.h and intl/libgettext.h and
intl/libgnuintl.h

I don't know how to tell if configure picked system or intl versions,
but
 (a) I don't see any .a files in my compilation tree
 (b) anyway, both 0.11.2 and 0.11.5 ought to include both of those
functions, I believe

What I'm doing

I have these lines in my configure.in

 dnl gettext functions missing from 0.10.35
 AC_CHECK_FUNCS( bind_textdomain_codeset ngettext )

and they are near the end, after these invocations

 dnl Internationalization (gettext)
 AM_GNU_GETTEXT
 AM_ICONV dnl should use this

but I am seeing the resultant symbols undefined in my config.h, eg,

 /* Define to 1 if you have the `ngettext' function. */
 /* #undef HAVE_NGETTEXT */

I do get these in my config.h:

 /* Define if the GNU dcgettext() function is already present or
preinstalled.
    */
 #define HAVE_DCGETTEXT 1

 /* Define if the GNU gettext() function is already present or
preinstalled. */
 #define HAVE_GETTEXT 1

Do you know if I should be able to use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for these in this
manner ?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Cordially,

Perry
