That should still work with gettext 0.22+ extracted in-tree (it should
be fetched by download_prerequisites).

That is interesting.  They should be using the same checks.  I've
checked trunk and regenerated files on it, and saw no significant diff
(some whitespace changes only).  Could you post the config.log of both?

I've never used AIX.  Can I reproduce this on one of the cfarm machines
to poke around?  I've tried cfarm119, but that one lacked git, and I
haven't poked around much further due to time constraints.

TIA, sorry about the inconvenience.  Have a lovely day.
