As far as Gnulib goes, PRI_MACROS_BROKEN is obsolete and can be
removed. It's for AIX 4.3.3 (released 1999), which IBM hasn't supported
since 2003. When the original supplier no longer supports a platform,
the general rule is that Gnulib can drop support for it as well. I
assume Gettext is the same.
