I might very well be barking up the wrong tree entirely here, but this
is the error that libtool used to give on cygwin.  I have had gettext
installed on cygwin in the past so I expect you just need to install
recent automake (1.4 is good enough) and libtool (1.3b might be okay,
but I would advise a cvs snapshot), and rebootstrap a freshly
untarred gettext distribution with these.

Cheers,
	Gary.
