Right, which is why gettext-devel *should* (and on 32bit, does) depend
on gettext.
However, I'll investigate how the linux distros package gettext & co.
It's possible TRTD is to have libintl-devel, libasprintf-devel,
libgettextpo-devel, etc...and (most of) gettext-devel is transferred to
gettext-tools. As I said, I'll investigate.
