I think this patch should not be applied. AIUI there is a semantic
difference between _() and gettext(), which is that _() is used to
capture strings for translation. gettext is for other situations.
So the arrangements for compiling without NLS should redefine gettext
to the identity function, rather than _.

That sounds better.
