Bugzilla Bug 28404

The 'unstable' version of gettext will not build from a stage1 system, users
wanting a 'pure' unstable system have to totally mask gettext-0.12 and
gettext-0.12.1. I understand that this is what the 'unstable' users should
expect, but this will eventually need fixing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up stage1 system as per install documentation.
2. Add KEYWORDS="~x86" to make.conf
3. Run build/bootstrap.sh

Actual Results:  
checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++... g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether g++ accepts -g... no
checking dependency style of g++... none
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.
configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for autoconf-lib-link

!!! ERROR: sys-devel/gettext-0.12.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

Expected Results:  
System emerges to stage2 state, with gettext-0.12.1

I've seen this report failure at "Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1" and
"Function econf, Line 321, Exitcode 1"

It looks like gettext-0.12 needs a c++ compiler, which isn't supplied with the
current stage1 tarballs. The options are (if you want to do it yourself) to
build your own stage1, or to do a stable bootstrap.sh followed by an unstable
bootstrap.sh (I'm testing if this works now).

I've already done the stable bootstrap/unstable and it works just dandy. Could
I remedy this by changing the gcc ebuild to add language c++ under -build
-bootstrap flags?

Eventually I'd imagine that Gentoo will switch over to gettext-0.12.* and this
has to get fixed before that, right?

Just found the part of gcc-3.3.1-r1.ebuild that defines what flags define
languages, added c++ to 'build' builds. testing...

(thank heavens for fast computers, eh?)

I'm pretty certain that what will happen is that the gcc in the stageball will
include c++ support.
