Sure, here it is:

http://ryandesign.com/tmp/tuxtype-1.8.3.main.log

As far as I can tell, libtool is not being used; the flags are going directly 
to the compiler.

The source can be downloaded from git://git.debian.org/git/tux4kids/tuxtype.git

Unknown arguments have only been an error in clang since "Apple LLVM version 
5.1".

I think you're talking about building gettext itself here, but I'm talking 
about building other software that uses gettext.
