Here is full list of tjose "several" in case of Fedora:

$ dnf repoquery -q --whatrequires 'libgettextpo.so.0()(64bit)'
fcitx-libs-0:4.2.9.6-4.fc30.x86_64
gettext-devel-0:0.19.8.1-18.fc30.x86_64
glom-libs-0:1.30.4-14.fc30.x86_64
gtranslator-0:3.32.0-1.fc30.x86_64
kdesdk-thumbnailers-0:18.12.3-1.fc31.x86_64
poxml-0:18.12.3-1.fc31.x86_64


If that list was longer it says that now libgettextpo is almost dead. Give option to not build libgettextpo would be wise because even above programs instead using libgettextpo can just do execve() to run exact gettext commands.
Q.E.D.

Please do a research on the topic before doing wrong claims.

libgettextpo is used by several packages. At least: libglom, pms, wine64-tools, kdesdk-thumbnailers. And some PO file editor (whose name I forgot).

This is normal.

Looks like onLinux libgettextpo is completly useless however there is not autoconf option to disable build and test it.
