[Buildroot] [PATCH] autoconf: use host-gettext's autopoint if available in autoreconf

[Aleksander Morgado]

Commit 7ee8ebbd813ad0a6d2392ef628c17241 explicitly disabled autopoint
calls during autoreconf, to avoid having the host autopoint called, as
there was no host-gettext package.

Commit 3a188b578e490f2a8b5922329b7abfae introduced the host-gettext
package support.

This commit recovers the support for automatically calling autopoint
during autoreconf.

Hey,

I see this is a recurring issue when a package that builds from git (bootstrapping using autoreconf before configure) requires gettext processing. automake would fail as autopoint wasn't being run (disabled in buildroot's autoconf package) and therefore not creating config.rpath and ABOUT-NLS (among other things, although these are the ones automake complains about). Specifying $(PKG)_GETTEXTIZE isn't an option as that may actually update the gnulib-imported files in a non-expected way, and "touch"-ing the missing files just seems a bit of a hack...

Calling autopoint from autoreconf was disabled back in 2011 because no host-gettext package was available, but this package was added in 2013, so how about removing that limitation?

Cheers!
