As we can see below, it is still not OK.  Please remove the gettext
package completely, including the headers, and try the latest mc snapshot.

Possible causes:
1) Your "make" is buggy and didn't recompile everything.
2) There is a problem in the headers of the gettext package.
3) There is some other library (i.e. iconv) that causes the trouble.
4) There is a bug in GNU gettext, which causes it not to disable 
redirection even if "--with-included-gettext" is specified.

Where does libiconv come from?

What do those options show?

My guess is that the unresolved symbols come from intl/intl-compat.c
It would be interesting to see the output of configure and the 
output of "nm intl/intl-compat.o"

Actually, this discussion belongs to the gettext mailing list.  I don't 
see anything mc-specific here.  If you do, then please explain.
