Ahh, there's your response...sorry if previous email was snide.

Yeah, autotools are a whole bunch of small things that have to be in
sync (or at least "as expected") to work together correctly. The popt
package attempts to specify these explicitly, and when there's no
interference from other things, we know it works. We don't know what
"other things" matter, but scattered reports of this problem, so
*something* matters. Having mismatched XCode vs your system is a bad
idea for many reasons, not sure it affects this particular problem.
I think there are ways we can include the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro in the
popt package itself. I looked at upgrading popt recently (the new
version does just that), but it's probably going to be messy and I
don't see an urgent need to upgrade. Maybe should import just the
macro support fix.
