Comment (by zanderpower@…):

 ryandesign,

 Thanks for your prompt response and suggestions.  As you have had no
 trouble in getting gettext 0.18.3.2 to compile on a similar PowerBook, I
 assume that the problem lies on my end.   I ran the full Apple Hardware
 Test and no memory (or any other) problems were found.  However, like your
 PowerBook, mine occasionally overheats, and that may actually be the
 reason gettext fails to compile here.  When I am doing work that is
 processor intensive, I too try to get some air circulating around its
 body.  I had not assumed that this was the problem because just a day
 before I compiled gcc47 and gcc48 without overheating issues.  However,
 after I read your comments, I propped the computer up to allow air to flow
 underneath, and tried again.  No go.  It still began to act squirrelly
 quite early in the configuration stage, and I had to ctrl-c out of the
 compile.  So I have no idea why my computer cannot compile gettext.

 My main concern, and the reason why I posted the ticket as high priority,
 was the oddity of gettext's website not having clearly posted the new
 release.  It now seems that I was overly hasty and should have poked
 around a little further before I posted a ticket.  Please accept my
 apologies.

 If you have any other ideas as to why I am having such trouble, I would be
 grateful to hear them.  In any case, I guess I will try again when the
 next release of gettext appears.

 Cheers,
 Zander Power
