Even if you had the patch to get it installed without errors, it will
not work, because the binaries will not find their installed sharedlibs
correctly.

This is a libtool problem, probably fixed with vanilla libtool-1.5.23b,
but definitively not with vanilla libtool-1.5.22, although there are
patches out (and applied in gentoo) for 1.5.22 IIRC.

Now there are two ways to fix gettext:

1) completely re-libtoolize gettext with libtool-1.5.23b (currently it
uses libtool-1.5.22), or fixed libtool-1.5.22. But this may be tricky.

2) create more patches like 'aixrtl' and 'instprefixlink' for
'elibtoolize', to fix gettext-shipped libtool-things (ltmain.sh,
configure) directly.
This also will be useful for other packages with similar problems.

So we really want 2), and 1) _may_ be of some help to gain 2).

This is what I call "aix libtool hell"...
