Subject: ruby1.8-dev: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/mkmf.rb have_func() fails to find functions
 in libc

Package: ruby1.8-dev
Version: 1.8.4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Causes other packages to FTBFS

>From libintl-gettext-ruby/0.11-5; Bug #322648:

$ cat extconf.rb
require 'mkmf'

$LDFLAGS = "-L/usr/local/lib";
$CFLAGS = "-I/usr/local/include";
have_library( "xpg4", "setlocale" );
have_header( "locale.h" );
if ( have_header( "libintl.h" ) and (have_library( "intl", "gettext" )
or have_func( "gettext" )) )
    create_makefile( "intl" );
end

This fails to find gettext() in libc, and so the build fails.

Regards,
Roger
