Guilty, sorry ! As I did successfully compile sources out of
gettext-0.20.tar.gz on the same machine, I was hopefully expecting it
would work the same from the git repo.

You are right, thanks !

On a sidenote, the reason I'm compiling gettext is to make it usable
with jdk 19, which I do at the moment by uncleanly forcing the use of
JAVAC env variable in javacomp.c and replacing Enumeration<> by
Enumeration<String> in write-java.c ...

Do you know if a proper support of thoses jdks (after 17) is planed in a
near future?

Thanks
