Summary:                    gettext building problem.
Description: 
Gettext build fail in -snapshot version (of today).
There is a multiple definition of 'plural_eval(...)' function.

from: 
  build_i686/gettext-0.14.6/gettext-runtime/intl/eval-plural.h:28
  build_i686/gettext-0.14.6/gettext-runtime/intl/plural-exp.h:115

from eval-plural.h: 

        /* Evaluate the plural expression and return an index value.  */
        STATIC 
        unsigned long int
        internal_function      
        plural_eval (struct expression *pexp, unsigned long int n)        
                                                                      
        {

from plural-exp.h: 

        #if !defined (_LIBC) && !defined (IN_LIBINTL)                     
                                                                      
        extern unsigned long int plural_eval (struct expression *pexp,
                              unsigned long int n);
        #endif


Seems like a condition has to be added ( eg. !defined(_BUILDROOT) )  in
plural-exp.h

My LANG environment variable is set to "fr_FR.UTF-8". 
Strangely, changing it to LANG=C and re-launching the build
seems to solve the problem


Cheers,

In fact doing "export LANG=C" does not solve the problem.

The attached patch solves the problem.
Put it into packages/gettext and build will work

The patch is wrong. This was fixed properly in svn by now.
