Is that against "next"? For an RFC that's okay, but for a series
that will be part of a release it can be tedious to separate out
(not all topics in "next" necessarily are released, and "next"
traditionally gets rewound after each release).
Comments on the patches:
Makefile: use variables and shorter lines for xgettext
The -o<whatever> passed to cc isn't usually included in CFLAGS,
and a part of me is similarly uncomfortable with including it in
XGETTEXT_OPTIONS. Isn't that parameter something that should be
possible to change in the build system independently from the
user's XGETTEXT_OPTIONS preferences?
gettext.c: work around us not using setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")
The perror() problem shows up with strerror(), too, of course.
(perror just made for an easier demo.)
gettext: Make NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease the default in releases

s/EXPERIMENTAL/experimental/? No need to shout.

Similarly I'd s/really //. If we want to dissuade people from trying

Not sure what this means. Maybe:
The infrastructure is only included in this release to avoid
complications in building other work on top of it. If you turn
it on, expect breakage.
