I haven't looked at the gcc-3.1.1 source tree, but I know that gcc does 
weird things with autoconf (e.g. top-level configure.in is NOT an input 
to autoconf...).  Anyway, my point: the "real" gettext.m4 from 
gettext-0.11.2 seems to have the appropriate code in it to check for 
both -lintl and -liconv if appropriate.

Does gcc-3.1.1 use aclocal.m4/gettext.m4 to find gettext, or some 
homebrew stuff?

That's reasonable.
