Yep.  This is unfortunately a problem in the intltool autoconf script.
It's nothing we can change -- we include it by reference.  :(

I noticed this, too.  getc_unlocked does exist in libc, but is not
referenced in any header I could find.  OTOH, I had a local copy of
libintl already installed, but I noticed that the configure script
didn't find it.  What I had to do was:

env CPPFLAGS=-D_nl_domain_bindings=_nl_domain_bindings__ LD=gcc bash ./configure

This would get it to find the locally installed libintl and then it wouldn't
try to build its own version and fail.
