Ain't that the truth; I wish the gettext developers would stop making
major library revisions, for one.

I recently learned about the WITHOUT_NLS knob which prevents some
ports from using gettext.  It's currently not possible to eliminate it
entirely, but it might help to mitigate the effects the next time it
breaks.

For some reason a number of people have /usr/local/lib/./libstdc++.a
installed, but unclaimed by another port.  Perhaps a port was
installing it without registering the files - anyway, you can safely
remove it and gettext should again compile.
