Ah, I see.
So if it's only that msgfmt that is needed and it is already there then
I can remove ISO_CODES_DEPENDENCIES completely?

Speaking of autoconf (or actually autoreconf):

I have a prelink package ready here and I had to do PRELINK_AUTORECONF =
YES what happens is that it complains about
missing ./ABOUT-NLS and ./config.rpath .
I tried to give PRELINK_AUTORECONF_OPTS = --install --force so that it
would create those missing files but it did not change anything.

The only thing that worked was doing the following horrible looking stuff:

define PRELINK_POST_PATCH_FIXUP
    (cd $(@D); \
    autopoint)
endef

PRELINK_POST_PATCH_HOOKS += PRELINK_POST_PATCH_FIXUP

Im still using 2012.08 version of buildroot so could that be the reason
that buildroots autoreconf does not create those two missing files ?
