+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] configure.ac: Properly check for libintl
+
+Some libc implementations like uclibc or musl provides
+gettext stubs via libintl library but this case is not checked
+by AC_CHECK_LIBRARY(c, gettext ...) because gcc has gettext as builtin
+which passess the check.
+
+So check it with included libintl.h where gettext may unfold into
+libintl_gettext which will cause check to fail if libintl_gettext are
+needed to be linked with -lintl.
