Details:

With an external installation of GNU gettext, linking of grub utilities fails
on my system (NetBSD 5.0), even though configure detects properly the external
gettext.

The full log of (./autogen.sh && ./configure CC=/usr/pkg/gcc44/bin/gcc
CPPFLAGS=-I/tmp/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/tmp/local/lib && gmake) is attached
(gettext was installed in /tmp/local).

According to GNU gettext's manual
<http://http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/AM_005fGNU_005fGETTEXT.html#AM_005fGNU_005fGETTEXT>,
the macro AM_GNU_GETTEXT sets the variables LIBINTL and LTLIBINTL to the
linker options for use in a Makefile (LIBINTL for use without libtool,
LTLIBINTL for use with libtool).

However, LIBINTL is not used in GRUB's makefiles.  I attach a patch that uses
LIBINTL, and that solves the problem on my system.
