I would not have guessed that gettext was incompatible with
Autoconf versions later than 2.65.

Have you considered making gettext warn when its "configure" is
run with a too-new Autoconf?  Perhaps something like this:
  m4_version_prereq(
    [2.66], 
    [m4_warn([Only Autoconf 2.60..2.65 is supported.])],
    [:])
