Title:
  FTBFS with glibc-2.16 (due to outdated gnulib)

Status in “gettext” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “gettext” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  gettext does not build against eglibc-2.16 due to gets having been removed
  but embedded gnulib in package still referring to it.

  Upstream bug links are in the patch.

  This patch makes it work by #ifdefing the offending line but the proper
  fix is a new upstream release using a newer gnulib. Preferably by syncing from debian.
