I'm having another issue with gettext-0.19.1 though.
With that installed, coreutils ./bootstrap is causing an older
config.rpath file to be added to the current directory.
I.E. a version with copyright 2010, compared to the
build-aux/config.rpath file which is 2014?

Reverting back to gettext-0.18.3 avoids the issue.

Unless there is a simple fix for this,
I suggest we revert the gnulib patch inducing the 0.19 dependency
until all these issues are resolved.

thanks,
Pádraig.
