Right. Anyway there were issues with 0.18.3.1 which this would avoid also.
I was able to update to gettext 0.19 trivially on Fedora 15 even
by rebuilding the rawhide rpm, and otherwise one can follow:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob_plain;f=README-prereq;hb=HEAD
to install from source.

So I'm proposing the attached update for coreutils so.

thanks,
Pádraig.
