Bernd, All,

He, things can change in 9 years! ;-)

Note that we can't just drop the HOST_GETTEXT_GNU_SUBDIR assignment,
because the host variant inherits the target setting, so if we drop
HOST_GETTEXT_GNU_SUBDIR, it's gonna be set to "gettext-runtime".

Instead, we'll have to override it with:

    # Don't inherit the target setting; build the whole package:
    HOST_GETTEXT_GNU_SUBDIR = .

But it had merit to trigger reviewing the current situation.

Thanks!
