problems with 0.12.1

[Edward Peschko]

I just tried upgrading from 0.10.40, and damned if 0.12.1 doesn't screw a hell 
of a lot of
compiles up.

What effort was made to make 0.12.1 backwards compatible with 0.10.40? 
bash-2.05b doesn't 
compile, neither does binutils-2.14, nor bison-1.28, nor enscript-1.6.1, nor 
does 
gdb-5.3.. all of them complain of having 'undefined symbols' (of various sorts, 
all
prefixed by 'libintl_'. This is all on sun solaris 2.8

I back track to 10.40, and it looks fine. Any help on this would be appreciated.
