I added --enable-xs-perl-libintl to force using Perl libintl-perl from XS. There is a placeholder with a TODO where detection code could be added. I must say that I am not that motivated to do it... https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/?id=545fe7ff7a01aa09554475d94b5db23cfb1bad32 The switch allowed to check that it fixes the test errors on macos-13 and cygwin-64 and now all the platforms in the CI look ok with XS modules used when possible (not for macos-14 and macos-15 for lack of working iconv, maybe other, I can't remember). -- Pat
