Today I have seen that one of the patches submitted by me some months ago
to resolve the name conflict between BORLAND and GNU gettext functions has
been applied to the CVS tree. Unfortunatelly from the two patches available
the wrong one has been applied. The bug introduced is the use of the wrong
macro to check if libintl.h has been included or not. The small patch below
will solve the bug introduced in CVS tree by using the wrong version of the
patch. I would seriously suggest to apply this patch as soon as possible to
fix this issue one and for all. With this patch applied it will become possible
to use GNU gettext 0.10.36/37/38 and any later version out-of-the-box together
with the CVS libc. If this patch is not applied this will never be possible.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
