Unfortunately, there are several other bugs in m4 files inherited as a
result of our choice of gettext.

But this hunk would likely break out-of-the-box building of libvirt on
RHEL 5 and CentOS, if they don't have new enough gettext.
I just confirmed that RHEL 5.6 and CentOS now ship with gettext-0.17; as
does the latest cygwin. We obviously can't go to the latest upstream of
0.18.1.1 because it would alienate several live supported distros, but I
see no point of limiting ourselves to 0.14.x if moving all the way to
0.17 works. Are any other popular distros stuck on something older than
0.17?
