GNU gettext is supported on a wide list of systems as well. Before we make a GNU gettext release, we test in on glibc systems, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, macOS, AIX, Solaris, Cygwin, native Windows systems. > Making it more difficult to support GCC on > non-GLIBC systems will be detrimental to GCC. You appear to be saying that using tested GNU gettext release tarballs will make it "more difficult" for GCC than to continue to use an old code from 2003, with occasional backports from upstream. Why? Bruno
