Hello,

Please keep the mailing list in Cc, i.e use "Reply All" when replying
to mailing list e-mails. Thanks!

I'm also adding André and Yann in Cc, since they are involved in the
host-gettext dependency in wine.

The dependency on host-gettext was added in commit
164ac197fef763dfa61154ad41588b6701baca86, which says:

""
    wine: Add gettext dependency for host-wine
    
    Mostly based on a comment by Yann E. MORIN
""

I am not sure what "comment" Yann made about this, and especially if
the dependency really needs to be mandatory.

André, Yann, do you remember ? Could you give more details about the
host-gettext dependency in wine ?

Do we need it unconditionally, or only when BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS=y ?

Best regards,

Thomas
