Building gettext fails with recent versions of glibc (2.16+). The error occurs in files pulled in from gnulib, for example:

In file included from progname.c:26:0:
./stdio.h:1010:1: error: 'gets' undeclared here (not in a function)
make[3]: *** [progname.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/brandon/Projects/gsrc/gsrc/trunk/gnu/libiconv/work/libiconv-1.14/srclib'

The error exists in this file:
srclib/stdio.in.h

The problem has already been fixed upstream in gnulib, so it should be as simple as updating the code included in gettext.
