[lokisetup] More compile problems

[Stéphane Peter]

I don't see were you found out that libintl is part of binutils, but it
is actually part of the GNU gettext package (this is the i18n library).

I have seen this error many times with some versions of gcc (mostly on
Mandrake 8.x systems actually). However it doesn't happen on older
Redhat. Thus it has to do with the mix of flags passed on the linking
line of setup, as we try to selectively statically link most libraries.
The solution is to fix the configure scripts to have a combination of
flags that work with all linkers, but I'm too lazy for that ;-)
