You are compiling with the gettext header files in /usr/include, but are
linking against the gettext static library (libintl.a) that is
distributed as part of fetchmail source tarball.  Because so many
projects include gettext within their own code (a BAD practice, IMO),
fixing this The Right Way is hard. 

The easy way:
  Add -DGETTEXT_STATIC to your CFLAGS before compiling.  This will make
the /usr/include gettext headers "right" for static libs.  Or rename
"gettext.h" in /usr/include, which forces fetchmail to use its own
internal gettext headers.
