Hm, that's interesting, because in the sources those calls are just
'bindtextdomain' etc. It looks like you are including files that define
bindtextdomain et al as macros for libintl_bindtextdomain et al. The
copy of <libintl.h> I have here doesn't do that, but there may be other
versions that do. I'd say that you have header files that don't match
up with your library that defines gettext --- or at least, configure
managed to find an implementation of gettext that didn't match the
headers. Check your inclusion and search paths.

Peter: is our configure stuff actually able to cope with this? It looks
to me like configure will look for a library providing "gettext", when
it would need to look for "libintl_gettext". Or should we just state
that such-and-such an implementation is too broken to use?
