mco-test3.out is attached, as well as the console output as 
gettext-msgconv-3.log.

For this, I was surprised to see that gettext itself contains three 
different math.h files

[10:24 reimer@CSI358562 gettext-0.22.4] find . -name math.h
./libtextstyle/lib/math.h
./gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/math.h
./gettext-runtime/intl/gnulib-lib/math.h

I assume that I should apply the patch to 
./gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/math.h . But this does raise a question as to 
why are there three?  Running diff on them shows that they are indeed 
all different, varying by various #if statements.

Again, Thanks for your quick reply,

Paul
