I'll try that tomorrow.

No, it fails during configure:

-: checking for xlC_r... no
-: checking for xlC... no
-: 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

make: *** [intermediate] Error 255]

 
I'm actually trying to find out wether it's possible to use gettext from 
glibc w/o the binaries.

I already continued a bit meanwhile and need: 

 <param>--disable-multilib</param>

in the configure section of phase2/package-build/gcc.xml

so that the compiler doesn't try to build the 32bit part, which needs
a 32bit glibc which we don't have.

Could you please add this line?
