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.
