Chris,
A better solution is to include "naked-intl" in the list of cvs modules
for the "winsup" ampersand module, then when utils/Makefile.in evaluates
"libintl:=${shell $(CC) -B$(bupdir2)/intl/
--print-file-name=libintl.a}", it will statically link dumper.exe to the
libintl which *doesn't* depend on libiconv. Otherwise, it will evaluate
to be /usr/lib/libintl.a, which is dependant on libiconv if you are
using the gettext > 10.40. I think this would be a better solution
because dumper.exe doesn't use any of the features provided by libiconv,
so why use what isn't needed? Furthermore, FWICT, src/intl doesn't
install anything durning "make install", so nothing should get
clobbered. I'm going to checkout "naked-intl" to test this theory and
re-run the build. I'll report my findings shortly...
Cheers,
Nicholas
