The config.rpath in gnulib is newer than the one from the latest gettext release (0.16.1). Therefore I would move build-aux/config.rpath away so that autopoint doesn't see it, and then move it back. > Does it matter which script is used by each tool?

This problem will only go away when either the integration between gettextize and automake is improved (but this is stalled since apparently currently noone with automake skills seriously wants to work with me on it), or when gnulib-tool is mature enough that it can replace gettextize and autopoint. Until then, you have to overwrite autopoint'ed files with copies brought in by gnulib-tool. Bruno
