gettext-tools build errors out on >= 2023Q1 for sparc

[vom513 <vom513%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello all,

Not that it matters, but I was trying to build bash on sparc (running 9.3).  gettext-tools is one of the build dependencies (I’m pretty sure it’s a depend. for many things…)

On 2023Q1-ish trees it dies with the errors at the bottom of this message.  I just built it successfully on a 2022Q4 tree.

2023Q1 on amd64 builds fine.

Here are some links to what very much looks like similar if not same issues.  These are on macOS (Fink, Brew) but nevertheless the file, and errors are nearly identical:

https://github.com/fink/fink/issues/197

https://discourse.brew.sh/t/mac-os-10-15-catalina-issues/5001/24

What makes me really scratch my head - is if I can’t build it - how did this get built:

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/sparc/9.0_2023Q1/All/gettext-tools-0.21.1.tgz

Thanks in advance for any info.
