configure.in:181: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_LANGINFO_CODESET

no way around it i dont think ... either you bundled the gettext m4 garbage
with flac so that those macros are included or you emerge gettext on your
machine to get the appropriate .m4 files, or you dont run autotools at all for
flac ...

Same problem here compiling flac 1.1.4

Same problem here compiling flac 1.1.4

Recompiling gettext solved the issue for me.

this isnt an embedded specific issue ... same problem should occur on a
USE=-nls system that has gettext uninstalled

a better question is how come upstream hasnt merged our patches yet to the
build system

flac-1.2.1-r2.ebuild.patch

I suggest this as a walkaround the need for gettext. Instead of patching
configure.in, just add the CFLAGS to emake to enforce them. this works on
uclibc.

added a fix (I hope) to already existing flac-1.2.1-r2.. 

Still don't work. When I made the original patch I actually tried to include
the AM_ICONV stuff as in tree now. I never got it working, gave up and went for
the quick and dirty emake CFLAGS="$CFLAGS".

this is still an issue

put all the .m4 fiels in $FILESDIR and this patch fixes the issue.

Long time solution would probably to split the gettext package or create an
gettext-m4 package that only includes the .m4 files from gettext.
