GTK+ will work fine on (non-broken) libc5 systems. If it
doesn't find libintl.h it should disable NLS support.
(This was broken before 1.1.13, but should work now)

GTK+ disables --with-included-gettext, because that doesn't
make sense for a library. For programs that flag means
"build my own copy of libintl.a and link with it statically".

If you want NLS support on a system without native gettext(),
you'll need to install gettext-10.35 from alpha.gnu.org.
