Hmm ... so there code that this patch adds to include/gettext.h already exists 
in include/config.h.in, but ENABLE_GETTEXT isn't being defined anywhere. So 
this part of your patch still seems to be needed, in both the attr and acl 
packages.

When I add it, I get this far:

	$ make aclocal.m4
	$ autoconf
	configure:3493: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

It turns out that aclocal.m4 is created with only the macros in the m4/ 
directory, and AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is not among them; this can be checked with:

	$ aclocal --acdir=m4 --verbose

This would usually be fixed by including the macros in m4/ in addition, but 
then I run into the next problem:

	$ aclocal -I m4
	$ autoconf
	[...]
	configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

As per one of the libtool info pages,

after adding config.guess, config.sub from automake, and ltmain.sh from 
libtool (we already have our own install-sh), the package builds again.

I'm attaching a diff relative to the current repo excluding config.guess, 
config.sub, and ltmain.sh which should be on your systems from automake and 
libtool already.

This is quite insane. Is there a more reasonable way?

Thanks,
Andreas
