No, I looked back thru my archives. The setup.hint got changed on
sourceware sometime in the last two years, but I forgot about it and
re-uploaded the (same old, unchanged but buggy) hint file when I
regenerated the new gettext package.

Blame it on transitioning from one computer to another. On my old
computer, /usr/src/gettext/TODO sez:

====
Fix libasprintf0.hint

use RESTRICT=automatic-postinstall-gnu-info
        instead of SUPPRESS_AUTOMATIC_INSTALLINFO
====

Oops.  Sorry.  Fixed now in my 1.7 devel area.
