None of this happens here, what version of automake do you use?

I have no clues whatsoever about what the developers of auto* have in
mind. You'll have to ask Bruno about the AM_GNU_GETTEXT/libintl stuff.
What I had initially, was
dnl i18n tests
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([libintl.h])
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(gettext)
if test $ac_cv_func_gettext = no; then
AC_CHECK_LIB(intl, gettext)
fi
AC_CHECK_FUNCS([bindtextdomain textdomain])
maybe something like that is better?

That's why I was a bit reluctant about writing a patch for Guile,
instead of only for gettext, which was all I needed. Anyway, this is
for the better, and Guile should build without gettext and without
libintl, of course. A problem is that I don't have a development
machine without these, so I couldn't test.
