the gettext in /usr/local is GNU gettext

/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3/include/libintl.h is part of
the gcc-3.3 package i had installed from www.sunfreeware.com

i have another libintl.h in /usr/include which is part of SUNWhea (SunOS
header files - solaris8 core) and is in its original state. the two files
are different in four lines.

i now use gcc-3.2.1 and added --with-included-gettext (does that help?)

lets so what happens

cheers
