Comment:

 Yes I did notice that during the latest update of gettext, but I decided
 to ignore the message.

 The problem is that gettext has multiple configure scripts. When you run
 the main configure script, it runs the configure scripts in the
 subprojects for you. I found it difficult to ascertain which configure
 scripts supported which options. I could be mistaken but it was my
 impression that the main configure script might say an option is
 unsupported while a subproject's configure script honors that option.

 Originally we were only using the `--disable-csharp` flag in the gettext
 and gettext-runtime subports. Then [ticket:65334 we discovered] that the
 gettext-tools-libs subport needed it too. To solve that ticket, I agreed
 that we should apply the flag for every subport. While it may not be
 recognized by every subport today, it does no harm to specify an
 unrecognized flag, and it ensures we won't run into problems if in some
 future version of gettext which subprojects honor this flag changes.
