libtool now creates worldwritable .libs, and it is not too wise as for me.
Without .libs being writable, the following fails (in packages which,
like gettext, build two shared libraries, one depending on the other):
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su -p bin
Well, I typed here $ su - oracle
bin$ make install
And here I used
oracle$ make install DESTDIR=/opt/oracle/tmp
and gettext package was installed just fine.
make install does not require write access to compiled sources at all.
BTW, what do you think about to use docdir = $(datadir)/doc/
insted of docdir = $(prefix)/doc in doc/Makefile.am.
This will make gettext more configurable and it folows modern standarts.
