Hi folks. An up to date gettext.m4 is failing for lacking _nl_expand_alias. This means NLS is being disabled on netbsd for many packages, and not on illumos or linux, which is very annoying to handle in pkgsrc.
I have no strong opinions on locale aliases, but we may want to do something about this, here are some options: 1. complain at whoever wrote gettext.m4, if we think locale aliases are silly. 2. implement dummy _nl_expand_alias, e.g. return NULL. this is done by uClibc. 3. implement a real _nl_expand_alias Thoughts, discussion, etc.
