Received a response (not from the list, but from David KAELBLING
of SGI, who maintains the Freeware on http://freeware.sgi.com/):

"This is a Linux-ism -- the Makefiles are assuming that gettext() is
 built into libc, when on IRIX systems it isn't.  Try installing
 fw_gettext, and if necessary manually force "-lintl" into the
 appropriate link lines (append it to libgnome_la_LIBADD,
 libgnomesupport_la_LIBADD, and libgnomeui_la_LIBADD)."

I'll try and build again with this in mind, but shouldn't the
configure step take this into account?  Seems like something the
GNOME developers need to pay attention to?
