Let's put it this way: Not handling absolute-path-shared-deplibs
correctly is an unfortunately undocumented libtool limitation.
We'd like to eliminate this limitation eventually, or alternatively
document why it should not be used. Given that a better solution
(which is simple at the same time) exists for your issue, that should
be used; it takes pressure from us to take our time to fix this.
So, to conclude: aspell is wrong (because LTLIBINTL is documented),
and libtool could be doing things better. (But the latter isn't
news to anyone.)

Using LTLIBINTL should work just fine. The important thing is that
`libtool' gets to eat it, not that it was a libtool library. Anything
else would be a bug in gettext.m4.
