> I simply autoreconf'd gettext 0.21 with autoconf from git master.

This is not supported.

There are two ways to use the GNU gettext sources:
* As a tarball. Then you use the configure script that is included in the
tarball.
* From a git checkout. Then you use the instructions from the HACKING file (in
some projects, the README-hacking file, or similar). In the case of gettext,
it says:

After fetching the sources from the Git repository, peek at the comments in
autogen.sh, then run
  ./gitsub.sh pull
  ./autogen.sh
Then you can proceed with "./configure" as usual.
