The gettext-0.14.x releases don't support building on mingw. The only
Woe32-based platform supported in these releases is Cygwin, and only
with --disable-shared.

gettext-0.15 shall support mingw. You can try the prerelease at
   http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/gettext-0.15-pre5.tar.gz
(It's a prerelease. autopoint doesn't work in prereleases, but the rest
should.)

Thanks for the report.
