No. Even with the previous patch applied, intltool should still work.
Although, it will probably break on Solaris, if the ^\# argument that
gets passed to grep to fill out ALL_LINGUAS, isn't quoted. The new
intltool just does an AC_SUBST(ALL_LINGUAS), which may or may not cause
sed to break, depending on whether there are any newlines in
ALL_LINGUAS.
