Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the new version of gettext and the update.
Note that I have updated coreutils to use the latest from gnulib,
which includes the above.  If you don't have gettext-0.18 installed,
your next build attempt will fail like this, as documented in
the gettext manual:

    make[2]: Entering directory `/w/cu/po'
    *** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from 
gettext version 0.17 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.18

Not surprisingly, installing gettext-0.18 and regenerating po/Makefile.in.in
solves the problem.

I've just pushed the following, in order to make that apparent earlier
in the build process:
