The config.rpath in gnulib is newer than the one from the latest gettext
release (0.16.1). Therefore I would move build-aux/config.rpath away so
that autopoint doesn't see it, and then move it back.

It matters for OpenBSD users.

This problem will only go away when either the integration between
gettextize and automake is improved (but this is stalled since apparently
currently noone with automake skills seriously wants to work with me on it),
or when gnulib-tool is mature enough that it can replace gettextize and
autopoint.

Until then, you have to overwrite autopoint'ed files with copies brought in
by gnulib-tool.
