Those changes indeed make DJGPP porting easier (and several other GNU
maintainers, besides Franc,ois and Alain, are using that modified
version), but they don't help with the issue at hand.  I always
disable NLS in my ports, so the problems pertinent to gettext never
show up, as the relevant fragments of the configure script never get
to run.

The issue we are trying to solve in this thread is that DJGPP has an
incompatible function `gettext' in its library, and the configure
script was erroneously picking it up, thinking it was NLS-related.
