I've got the following on my FC3 machine and I don't see this problem:

automake (GNU automake) 1.9.2
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.14.1
intltoolize (GNU intltool) 0.31.2

I doubt it's automake, but it could possibly be intltoolize.

A grep for "gettext" in configure shows only the following:

AM_GNU_GETTEXT([use-libtool])
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(gettext, intl, ,[
        AC_MSG_ERROR([Cannot find gettext -- do you need to build -lintl?])], )

which implies the bug is in the gettext m4 macros, not in our code.
