This bug was fixed in the package gettext - 0.18.1.1-10ubuntu1
---------------
gettext (0.18.1.1-10ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian NEW (LP: #1079768). Remaining changes:
- Build Java components with gcj.
- Throw away /usr/lib/gettext/gnu.gettext*; we don't need them.
- Explicitly configure with --disable-csharp.
- Keep gettext.jar in /usr/share/gettext instead of moving it to
/usr/share/java.
- Drop autopoint recommends of gettext. It pulls in git and
other sizable packages which make the CDs explode.
gettext (0.18.1.1-10) unstable; urgency=low
* Split out libgettextpo-dev and libasprintf-dev for multiarch
dependencies. Thanks to P.J McDermott for core patch. Closes: #683751.
* Fix FTBFS on eglibc-2.16 (gets removal/outdated gnulib). Closes: #693361.
* Thanks a lot to Colin Watson and Wookey, as they did all the work.
* Keep autosprintf.info.gz in gettext for now, for safety.
* Note: This is a "conservative release" which tries to be nice with
autobuilders using unstable. After the release of wheezy, the following
changes will be made: a) Change gettext Depends on the new -dev packages
to just Recommends, and b) Drop libgettextsrc.so and libgettextlib.so,
as those libraries are for internal use only and not meant to be used
by other packages. Those changes will be made *regardless* of this release
entering wheezy or not. Debian derivatives (like Ubuntu) are welcome to
do them now, as it is what will eventually happen in Debian.

Title:
FTBFS with glibc-2.16 (due to outdated gnulib)
Status in “gettext” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “gettext” package in Debian:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
gettext does not build against eglibc-2.16 due to gets having been removed
but embedded gnulib in package still referring to it.
Upstream bug links are in the patch.
This patch makes it work by #ifdefing the offending line but the proper
fix is a new upstream release using a newer gnulib. Preferably by syncing
from debian.
