gettext-0.10.35: Problems compiling on Solaris 2.5.1 (Sparc)

[Norbert Bladt <abladtn autelca ascom ch>]

Hi !

I don't know whether this is the right place to ask, because this 
is not directly related to Gtk but to Gnome.

I just got, unpacked and configured the gettext-0.10.35 sources
on my Sparc running Solaris 2.5.1. The configure did not report
any problems.
Then I started GNU make.
After a while an error message was shown:

---------
gcc -g -O2 -o gettext gettextp.o ../lib/libnlsut.a ../intl/libintl.a
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
bindtextdomain                      gettextp.o
gettext                             gettextp.o
textdomain                          gettextp.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to gettext
---------

I solved this by adding intl-compat.o to the OBJECTS linked together
to form libintl.a.
Is this the right "fix" ?

Why did configure not figure (no pun) this out ?

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Norbert.
