Chap5 binutils may require gettext

Description

As Alexander pointed out, and I have confirmed, binutils requires gettext unless --disable-nls is passed. Since nls will *not* be used anyway in chap5, and since it avoids another dependency, this should go in. I have built testing with testing with testing using this flag with no problems.

Sounds sensible. I assume from that thread that no other chapter 5 packages require gettext?

comment:2 by archaic@…, 19 years ago

None that I have run into. I only build gettext for book testing purposes. None of my build hosts have it.

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

I opted for solution 2 (passing --disable-nls to pass2 of binutils) as we don't need nls support on the temptools and it lessens the host requirements by one package. Fixed in trunk r5983 and testing r5984.
