Details:

It appears gettext 0.20.x cannot be built from git if you don't already have
that version of gettext, but can only be built from the tarballs. Building
fails with:

Making all in examples
make[4]: Entering directory
'/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/shai-build/gettext-tools/examples'
Making all in po
make[5]: Entering directory
'/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/shai-build/gettext-tools/examples/po'
make gettext-examples.pot-update
make[6]: Entering directory
'/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/shai-build/gettext-tools/examples/po'
/bin/sh '/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/gettext-tools/examples/po/xsmallpot.sh'
'/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/gettext-tools/examples/po' hello-c
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac
               file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.20 but this
version
               is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.20 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.
rm: cannot remove 'po/Makevars.template': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'po/Rules-quot': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'po/boldquot.sed': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'po/en@boldquot.header': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'po/en@quot.header': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'po/insert-header.sin': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'po/quot.sed': No such file or directory


This is, at the very least, unexpected, and should either be documented or
fixed.
