the version of uClibc in uClinux has a stubbed version of gettext that
may be enough to build uClibc - to use it you must enable certain
experimental/debug options.

Go into the uClinux-dist/uClibc directory, run "make menuconfig",

select "uClibc development/debugging options" -> "Manuel's hidden warnings"

Then choose the menu "String and Sdtio Support" -> "Local Support"

Then, down the bottom of this same menu, the gettext() option will appear.

Save and exit from the uClibc menu config, return to uClinux-dist
directory, do a make clean all, and see what happens.

I cannot vouch for this - I've certainly never tried it, but you might
at least get glib to compile.

Failing that, you will need to configure glib to use a specific gettext
package - perhaps there is a ./configure option to specify such a thing.

Regards,

John
