 Ok ... Now that I'm looking at the correct config.log .. I see the error
 
 libintl.a is not present on my system .. I didn't realize it was a

 Thanks

 I do not see how that is possible.  The same variable builds it and
 includes it in init.c.  If it isn't in CONFIG_OBS, it should not be
 built.

 Not unless you give me enough information to figure out why it isn't in
 CONFIG_OBS.  If you don't see a problem in gdb/config.log, please send
 it to the bug.
