  Goes to show how valuable my testing was :-(

  How about finding and fixing the packages that require NLS?

  But then, Samuel's remark becomes valid: if ENABLE_LOCALE is not true,
then libintl won't be built, so the -lintl becomes invalid.  In fact,
I would think that packages that select BR2_NEEDS_EXTERNAL_GETTEXT should
actually depend on ENABLE_LOCALE... Or usually they should be
..._IF_LOCALE instead.  For instance, I tried util-linux and it builds
perfectly without locale and gettext.

  Any chance of testing if the cases that have gettext without -if-locale
can be replaced with gettext-if-locale?

  Regards,
  Arnout
