  - you say that the error is specific to ppc64le,
  - glibc 2.35 has just been released a few days ago,
my first suspicion is that it's caused by ppc64le specific glibc header files.

Note also that gettext-0.21 includes many files from Gnulib, and there has
been a number of bug fixes there, regarding interoperability with glibc headers,
in particular:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=1dd848e8a7792129984f55b317d386e36617bdb2
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=9a6782ac052fc3b07349fb8e0c08b7d5060d403d

I tried our gettext-0.21 with these two patches but that didn't help unfortunately.

 

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=eb32c992c90617b529e2ce08ad6014d418dceaf9

These changes seem too far from gettext-0.21 to make sense of.

Thanks, Jens
