This broke the build for me. OS X Yosemite, 10.10.5.

$ ./configure --enable-nls --with-libraries=/opt/local/lib
--with-includes=/opt/local/include
$ make
...
gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels
-Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing
-fwrapv -Wno-unused-command-line-argument -O2 -bundle
-multiply_defined suppress -o libpqwalreceiver.so libpqwalreceiver.o
-L../../../../src/port -L../../../../src/common -L/opt/local/lib
-Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs -L../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq
-bundle_loader ../../../../src/backend/postgres
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_libintl_gettext", referenced from:
_libpqrcv_get_conninfo in libpqwalreceiver.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [libpqwalreceiver.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver-recurse] Error 2
make: *** [all-src-recurse] Error 2

Without --enable-nls, or if I back up one commit, it works.
