Description
The following text is redundant from the glibc install of chapter 5 (not chapter 6) as users are not in chroot as this stage. Previously glibc has been installed (twice) within the chroot. Now in chapter 5, the hosts msgfmt (gettext) is available.
During this stage you will see the following warning:
configure: warning: * These auxiliary programs are missing or too old: msgfmt * some features will be disabled. * Check the INSTALL file for required versions.
The missing msgfmt program (from the Gettext package, which we'll install later) won't cause any problems. The msgfmt is used to generate the binary translation files that can make your system talk in a different language. Because these translation files have already been generated for you, there is no need for msgfmt. You'd only need the program if you change the translation source files (the *.po files in the po subdirectory), which would require you to regenerate the binary files.

Yes.
However, we do now see a similar message, but for autoconf instead. I'll fix this.
Thanks.
