Gettext really depends on libxml2, which itself links with liblzma.  The thing
is, when host-gettext gets linked with a locally-installed libxml2, symbols in
the latter defined in liblzma won't possibly match the ones in a host-liblzma
if it is built and installed.

The solution is to add host-libxml2 to HOST_GETTEXT_DEPENDENCIES.

I suspect this problem is symptomatic of a more general problem of well-defined
dependencies of host-packages.
