AM_GNU_GETTEXT(use-libtool) and Automake's "make distcheck"

[Simon Josefsson]

I'm having trouble getting this combination to work on Debian
woody(*), which has libintl natively.  Automake creates a target "make
distcheck" that contains:

          && ../configure --srcdir=.. --prefix="$$dc_install_base" \
            --with-included-gettext \
            $(DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS) \

and I think it is the --with-included-gettext that is causing trouble.
As can be seen below, the intl/ directory is not installing libintl in
$prefix/lib directory.  Then later on, relinking the application for
"make install" fails because -lintl is not found.  I think this is a
gettext/libintl bug: intl/Makefile should force an installation of
libintl.{,l}a when --with-included-gettext is specified.

Why isn't AM_GNU_GETTEXT(use-libtool) the default when libtool is
used, btw?

(*) Plus a few upgraded packages:

gettext/unstable uptodate 0.11.5-1
texinfo/testing uptodate 4.2-1
libtool/unstable uptodate 1.4.3-2
automake1.7/testing uptodate 1.7.1-1
autoconf/unstable uptodate 2.56-2
