It is not enough to patch autogenerated scripts.  In this case, the real bug
is in gettext.m4 at the box where the .m4 scripts were generated.  `configure'
is autogenarated and just includes the contents of aclocal.m4 which is
autogenerated by aclocal which adds all the stuff that is needed by 
configure.in.

The gettext package is buggy.  It needs to be updated to the latest version.
And so should every installation of gettext on every davel system should be
updated.  If aclocal.m4 is regenerated then, the bug is gone.
