So what's the solution? Stick with 10.40 for solaris? That's worked for me in 
the 
past, but my gut would be to either:

        a) port glibc to other platforms (which no one seems to have an 
interest doing)
        b) somehow modify m4/autoconf/et al to put a check for solaris to 
always use 
           libintl no matter what.

And am I going to get core dump errors if I keep using gettext-0.10.40?
