commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=5cb061e1a7f93da30f9d12c6f8cf40023e7e2c37
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.02.x

git fails to build with NLS enabled because of weak check
for gettext in configure.ac. The AC_CHECK_LIB(c, gettext ...)
is used to set LIBC_CONTAINS_LIBINTL variable. If the variable
is set then '-libs' is not passed to the linker, but this variable
is set to 'Yes' even libc implementation does not provide libintl
support, the AC_CHECK passes because gcc has gettext builtin.

So use instead AC_LINK_IFELSE with included libintl.h because it
makes gettext to unfold as libintl_gettext which causes AC_CHECK
to fail for cases when gettext is not provided by libc.

Tested by ./utils/test-pkg with NLS disabled/enabled.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] configure.ac: Properly check for libintl
+
+Some libc implementations like uclibc or musl provides
+gettext stubs via libintl library but this case is not checked
+by AC_CHECK_LIBRARY(c, gettext ...) because gcc has gettext as builtin
+which passess the check.
+
+So check it with included libintl.h where gettext may unfold into
+libintl_gettext which will cause check to fail if libintl_gettext are
+needed to be linked with -lintl.
