If libintl.h and any headers it in turn includes are bundled, there is no longer an issue with NLS.
That was just a workaround for building exts when Pg's headers tried to refer to nonexistent headers when NLS was enabled.

How about the changes with respect to NLS?On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 2:44 PM, Dave Page <dpage@pgadmin.org> wrote:On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 3:32 AM, Craig Ringer <craig@2ndquadrant.com> wrote:Sandeep, can you work on fixing this please?
