No, I personally haven't had the time to work on this topic, and nobody
else did, apparently.

Yes, it seems related, at least it reflects very well the fact that
musl provides a gettext implementation, but gettext.m4 doesn't
recognize it as being a valid implementation.

I see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2015-04/msg00002.html
hasn't got much feedback on the gettext mailing list, so we'll probably
have to dig into the topic ourselves, and find some solution.

Best regards,

Thomas
