This should be fixed if you apply
  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=commitdiff;h=516754499eb9f59e9d0e86d8755a1c38c06fd87b
and regenerate the configure files. Or, if you prefer to work from a
tarball, use a current gettext snapshot, from
  https://gitlab.com/gnu-gettext/ci-distcheck
