Hello Vadim,

Do you have gettext installed on your system ? If you do, then the
build of wine for example may succeed by using the "gettext" command of
your build machine. But Buildroot is not supposed to depend on the
gettext available on the build machine.

Note: this is speculation, I have not re-tested. If you want a
confirmation, I can do a proper test.

Best regards,

Thomas
