Yes, gettext can be built as documented in the INSTALL file. Only one
extra option, --with-included-libxml, is needed on Cygwin.

Paul,
What's the downside to the patch to build-aux/po/Makefile.in.in?

Yes, it's only stylistic, but with major impact. I wouldn't want to kill all
phony targets from all Makefiles, just for make -q. Let's hear what Paul

Sorry, I see that I wasn't clear earlier. Not all phony targets have
the problem. For example, the following works fine:
.PHONY: all
all: foo
foo: /etc/motd

I expect that it's because historically, 'make' always identified

Hi Paul,
Does it mean phony targets are generally incompatible with make -q?
Apparently so
Thanks for the confirmation. I've raised the question on the bug-make list [1],

In the meantime, though, we're stuck with workarounds such as the

Unfortunately if that part is reverted, then coreutils would lose
all gnulib fixes in the gettext area, due to the funny way that
'bootstrap' invokes autopoint. This includes not only the fix
