When building m4-1.4.18b on OpenBSD 6.9, with GNU gettext installed,
there is a link error:
CCLD test-posix_spawn-chdir
ld: error: undefined symbol: libintl_gettext
>>> referenced by xalloc-die.c:34 (../../lib/xalloc-die.c:34)
>>> xalloc-die.o:(xalloc_die) in archive ../lib/libm4.a
>>> referenced by error.c:195 (../../lib/error.c:195)
>>> error.o:(error_tail) in archive ../lib/libm4.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Errors while building
The cause are these dependencies:
test-posix_spawn-chdir.o
-> find_in_path() in findprog.o
-> xmalloc()
-> xalloc_die()
-> libintl_gettext()
This patch to gnulib fixes it. In m4, you'll need to update to the
current gnulib.

Fix build error when libintl is installed.
