Assuming that the problem you mean as a "bad check" is: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2015-04/msg00002.html According to the post linked from the above, the check seems to be there to exclude incompatible implementations of gettext(), like Solaris 7 and NetBSD: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2006-03/msg00011.html If musl's gettext implementation is compatible with GNU gettext, I guess we could adjust the check to accept it. However, I have no idea which symbols or macros can be used for the check. It would be helpful if musl people could chime in and give us a hint. Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
