Oh gee .. autoreconf and friends? I guess I'll need to build those tools 
and then come back to this as ... yes of course :

Or, if you prefer to work from a

I prefer an actual release tarball. However I can certainly setup some
sort of script in the future to curl/wget the snapshots and run a test.
Not sure how many folks are doing much of anything on Solaris 11.3 with
sparc. I bet not many at all.  Solaris 11.4 will be even more rare as
there is next to nothing that runs for sparc anymore. Strictly a T4 and
up and that is only for "now".

I'll go build the required autotools and then come back to gettext.
