Part 2 is not hard: Add to $(builddir)/gettext-tools/src/ this GNUmakefile:

======================== GNUmakefile ========================
Makefile-for-gmake : Makefile
ifeq ($(filter grouped-target, $(.FEATURES)),)
        cat < Makefile > Makefile-for-gmake
else
        sed -e 's/^\([a-zA-Z0-9/_.-][a-zA-Z0-9/_.-]* 
[a-zA-Z0-9/_.-][a-zA-Z0-9/_.-]* [^:]*\):/\1\&:/' < Makefile > Makefile-for-gmake
endif

-include Makefile-for-gmake
=============================================================

Non-GNU make will ignore the GNUmakefile.
GNU make will create the Makefile-for-gmake and then use it transparently.
