libintl-devel not a dependency of python3-devel

Hi,

Just an observation/bug report:

python3-config --ldflags outputs for 3.8.12:

-L/usr/lib -lpython3.8 -lcrypt -lintl -ldl

which make ld fail with

" cannot find -lintl" (actually I do not even know it its needed)

Fixing this (eg. for automated builds etc) requires libintl-devel  as a 
dependency

Best

Till

PS: this is rather an annoyance, as installing libintl-devel once will 
fix the issue for anyone forever. However, since python package builds 
are involved it might hit a few "novice" users
