Thanks for reporting this. This will be fixed in the next release. Patch
appended.

But what are you trying to do at all? Compiling gettext with "--disable-nls"
does not make much sense: it will then not define the libintl library!

"--disable-shared --enable-static" is not needed on mingw any more: Since
version 0.15, gettext supports building with shared libraries enabled.
