Ok, another update. I got gettext to rebuild finally however, I had to comment that section out concerning the "local_charset" in the spec file and uninstall libgcj from the RHEL3 temporarily. I'm expecting that if I were to install a j2sdk openpkg package then that would've solved the second problem as well as removing libgcj. Anyway, it seems there is still some sort of issue that probably needs to be fixed here on a more permanent basis. I don't know if removing that "local_charset" section permanently is good or not in regards to the other variations of unix that openpkg is designed for, but it does seem to do the trick for RHEL3.
