What about following solution:
Replacing old gettext() prototype in <conio.h> with
(...) _borland_gettext(...);
#ifndef __GETTEXT_DEFINED
#define gettext _borland_gettext
#define __GETTEXT_DEFINED
#endif

In gettext headers:
(...) _gnu_gettext(...);
#ifndef __GETTEXT_DEFINED
#define gettext _gnu_gettext
#define __GETTEXT_DEFINED
#endif

Now if you include <conio.h>, you get Borland gettext, if 
gettext header, you get GNU gettext.

Now drawback:

  - If there are old Borland programs which use gettext without
including headers, they will stop working. But that could be
simply fixed.
