 Tru64 without it?

Steven informs me that the issue disappeared after he removed libintl
and updated various GNU bits, including autoconf and m4. The current
configure.ac has AC_PREREQ(2.61) (I would have thought that'd issue a
warning at the very least), and since generating the configure script is
a developer-ish activity (as opposed to a user-ish one), I'm fine with
(and probably actually prefer) requiring rather recent GNU tools for
configure-generation.

To my knowledge, the only remaining known issue is the one relating to
stdbool.h, which the autoconf folks appear to have sent to gnulib to
resolve.

I'm still trying to figure out why I can't get a workable autoconf when
building from GNU sources on OpenBSD 4.1; but that falls under the
category of debugging autoconf, not Wget. :)

 Taking the hint from all the *GETTEXT stuff, I installed GNU gettext,
 which cleared that mess.  (Missing /usr/local/include/libintl.h?)

Tru64 without it?

I configured and built mainline on OpenBSD 4.1, without gettext, and ran
into no problems... at least, when I used autoconf and automake from the
OpenBSD ports packages. When I used an autoconf that I built from the
GNU sources, I was getting a strange problem with an improperly
generated configure script (autoconf reported no problems).

What versions of autoconf and automake do you have installed, and did
you install them from GNU sources or are there third-party packages
available that you made use of? Are you using GNU m4, and if so, what
version?
