Hi,

I'm building gettext-0.18.3.1 on

My usual config+build now hangs @ "checking for working sleep..."

and just sits there, interminably.  Ctrl-C breaks out without issue.

and

        time sleep 1
                real    0m1.004s
                user    0m0.002s
                sys     0m0.002s

my `sleep` appears in order.

Not sure what to check for / fix, here.

Any hints?
