I can reproduce with gettext 0.18.3.1 Ah yes: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.general/4708/ gettext reported 0.18.3 above which confused me, but gettext --version returns 0.18.3 for all of 0.18.3* :( I.E. 0.18.3 and 0.18.3.2 are OK, but we can't distinguish that using our bootstrap --version checks. The best I can think of at present is to update all major platforms away from the problematic 0.18.3.1 I've just done that for Fedora 20 here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gettext-0.18.3.2-1.fc20 and logged the issue for Ubuntu here: http://pad.lv/1311895 thanks, Pádraig.
