The way configure is supposed to work is that it tests if it's possible to build with a library, and it will deselect it if it doesn't work.
Also, as far as I can tell, this issue only occurs if one has built gettext prior to upgrade to 10.9. In this particular case, it seems reasonable for configure to warn what is going on.
