OK, I found out what's going on, thanks to your trick. For reference, in old versions of the autotools gettext detection code, the test code fails on x86_64 with a "cast from 'char*' to 'int' loses precision" error. As a result, gettext is not detected, and the translations are not built. Thanks for your help.
