On most non-GNU systems that isn't the case, and even if you install it on OpenBSD using the port, it will not be found since the system compiler doesn't search in /usr/local by default. We currently have at least six bug reports of people trying to build GDB 6.3, where things fail (in bfd/) because libintl.h cannot be found. I think it is safe to conclude that removing intl/ from the distribution was a mistake since GDB no longer builds out of the box on most pristine non-GNU systems. IIRC we removed intl/ only to fix problems on non-GNU systems. Looks like it breaks far more systems than it fixes. We should really release a GDB 6.3.1 with intl/ added back in. I'm sorry that I didn't notice this before, but I simply never removed intl/ from my local source tree, so I didn't notice the breakage. Mark
