Chris,

A better solution is to include "naked-intl" in the list of cvs modules 
for the "winsup" ampersand module, then when utils/Makefile.in evaluates 
"libintl:=${shell $(CC) -B$(bupdir2)/intl/ 
--print-file-name=libintl.a}", it will statically link dumper.exe to the 
libintl which *doesn't* depend on libiconv.  Otherwise, it will evaluate 
to be /usr/lib/libintl.a, which is dependant on libiconv if you are 
using the gettext > 10.40.  I think this would be a better solution 
because dumper.exe doesn't use any of the features provided by libiconv, 
so why use what isn't needed?  Furthermore, FWICT, src/intl doesn't 
install anything durning "make install", so nothing should get 
clobbered.  I'm going to checkout "naked-intl" to test this theory and 
re-run the build.  I'll report my findings shortly...

Cheers,
Nicholas
