Building.

The problem occurs when there is gettext 0.11.x preinstalled. You can
run into trouble (the resulting gettext 0.12.1 requires gettext 0.11.x
libraries). That's the result I got with the stock libtool 1.5.

When calling libtoolize (thus have libtool 1.4.3 overwriting the stock
1.5), libraries won't have any ".so" extension.
