gettext is not providing the codeset.m4 file, which was the file to define
AM_LANGINFO_CODESET. Unfortunately, in commit [1], it was removed from gettext,
so you need to grab it from the immediately previous tree [2]. Copy the file
into /usr/share/aclocal and try emerging gnokii again.

This is obviously not a permanent fix, but it will confirm the issue.
Erroneously, the Portage File List (e-file) will still report that gettext
provides codeset:

         $ e-file codeset.m4

That did the trick!  And you did all the work for me :-)  Thank you.

Now, can I leave that at that or do you recommend that I remove that
file and do what  Nuno Silva recommended and emerge 0.6.31-r3?
