Running gettextize -f may have been heavy-handed and unnecessary. It's just the first quickie solution I found by googling. I am far from expert on gettext, autotools, or git.

Right now, for some reason I don't understand, I no longer have a problem building the master branch even though Makefile.in.in is from gettext 0.18 and I have gettext 0.17 installed on my machine. Every form of git diff I can think of tells me my tree is the same as the remote master, though "git status" does tell me I have some untracked files.

Well, if gettext is an intrinsicaly troublesome package, I think that we
definitely should distribute with --disable-nls as default. A situation
where the average user can no longer install XBoard by the usual
./configure, make, sudo make install mantra is to be considered
disastrous. Not many users will be interested in languages, and
for none of our current users not getting any languages would be
a breaking point.
