Hm, not really a bug? If gettext.h is present, then the library to link with ought to be. On GNU systems, libintl isn't expected to be present; the relevant facilities are included in libc.

At any rate, we're only checking ENABLE_NLS, which is set by gnulib code, so if there's a bug, it's with that.

If gettext.h is found, but other gettext checks fail (libintl link failures, for instance), wget will still get gettext-related undefined symbol errors. I suspect something is checking HAVE_GETTEXT_H without also checking whether NLS is enabled.

This problem doesn't happen with --disable-nls, as <gettext.h> never gets checked in that case (so --disable-nls stands as a reasonable workaround).
