as you can see, gettext and libintl are auto-selected by my other choices:

(config-file):
BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL=y

The build log can be found at:
http://www.spielwiese.de/rob/Buildroot/build.log.gz

and the config at:
http://www.spielwiese.de/rob/Buildroot/config

After my last mail I thought I might have some problem with left-over files, so
I did a "make distclean" and did another build, but the result is the same.

I git cloned the buildroot environment on the 13th of May, and haven't updated
it since.

I would be grateful if you could have a look.

cheers,

Rob Urban
