It seems like the autoconf macro (AM_GNU_GETTEXT) used to detect the
availability of the gettext functions is deciding they're not available
in libc and falling back to the included version of libintl.  You could
check config.log and config.status to see why.

I wonder if it's due to the fact that you're trying to build a profiled
version of bash that can be run against gprof.  That usually links in a
separate set of libraries.
