When I do this exactly as you, gettext 0.16 builds properly. The problem
trigger seems to be in pth.h when "#define PTH_SYSCALL_SOFT 1".

When PTH_SYSCALL_SOFT is manually edited to 1, or pth 2.0.7 is built
explicitly with --enable-syscall-soft, or syscall-soft is implicitly
forced by --enable-pthread, then gettext build fails.

When PTH_SYSCALL_SOFT is 0, gettext builds OK. Again thank you very
much!

I get 2 nearly identical errors. With --enable-threads=posix or nothing:

| ../intl/.libs/libintl.so: undefined reference to `__pthread_read'

while with --enable-threads=pth:

| ../intl/.libs/libintl.so: undefined reference to `pth_read'
