Actually the problem is that the following files are installed by both
autopoint and gnulib-tool:

  m4/codeset.m4
  m4/fcntl-o.m4
  m4/glibc21.m4
  m4/iconv.m4
  m4/intlmacosx.m4
  m4/inttypes_h.m4
  m4/inttypes-pri.m4
  m4/lcmessage.m4
  m4/lib-ld.m4
  m4/lib-link.m4
  m4/lib-prefix.m4
  m4/lock.m4
  m4/longlong.m4
  m4/size_max.m4
  m4/stdint_h.m4
  m4/threadlib.m4
  m4/visibility.m4
  m4/wchar_t.m4
  m4/wint_t.m4
  m4/xsize.m4
  build-aux/config.rpath

When "gettextize --intl" will not be supported any more in the next gettext
release (it is already deprecated in version 0.18) this list of files will be
reduced to

  m4/iconv.m4
  m4/lib-ld.m4
  m4/lib-link.m4
  m4/lib-prefix.m4

This is what would fix the problem libidn ran into.

The support for PO files in Automake is very desirable, but will assume
gettext >= 0.19 is released.
