I'll look at coreutils shortly.

To some degree, that was intentional. At least cygwin still ships with only gettext 0.17, because all versions of 0.18 are unbuildable on the current cygwin.

Pushing this change makes it impossible to do a bootstrap of coreutils on cygwin. :(

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use gettext, not gettext-h.

'gettext' is used when you want bleeding edge, and requires 0.18.1. 'gettext-h' is when you don't care about bleeding edge, and instead want to be portable to distros that are still at 0.17 (this includes popular distros like RHEL 5 and CentOS 5). I'm not sure if we should revert this part of your change.
