The same problem affects also FreeBSD and NetBSD.
Therefore I propose the following changes to the INSTALL file. Apart
from *BSD, it also treats the HP-UX and BeOS platforms. They are each
special in their own sense.
I'm going to use this patch in the next gettext release.

you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
+ Particular Systems
+ ==================
+
+ On FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, the compiler doesn't search include
+ files in /usr/local/include, and the linker doesn't search libraries in
+ /usr/local/lib. Therefore some packages won't find other packages
+ installed earlier. To overcome this problem, it is recommended to use
+ the following options:
+
+ env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure
+
+ On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible. If GNU CC
+ is not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in order
+ to use an ANSI C compiler:
+
+ env CC="cc -Ae" ./configure
+
+ On BeOS, user installed software goes in /boot/home/config, not
+ /usr/local. It is recommended to use the following options:
+
+ CPPFLAGS=-I/boot/home/config/include LDFLAGS=-L/boot/home/config/lib \
+ ./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
+
