Problems compiling gettext

[Clint Olsen]

Greetings:

Since I've been using the ports system, I've had nothing but problems with
gettext.  It causes me more grief on FreeBSD than any other port
dependency.  I just tried using 'portupgrade' for slrn, and while compiling
I got this gem of an error:

Does anyone have a babbelfish to decipher what all this C++ gunk is all
about?
