eglibc: Add gettext-native to DEPENDS

Otherwise you get:

| msgfmt -o be.mo be.po
| msgfmt -o bg.mo bg.po
| msgfmt -o ca.mo ca.po
| /bin/bash: msgfmt: command not found
| make[2]: *** [be.mo] Error 127
| make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
| /bin/bash: msgfmt: command not found
| make[2]: *** [ca.mo] Error 127
| /bin/bash: msgfmt: command not found
| make[2]: *** [bg.mo] Error 127

if msgfmt isn't available in the host environment.

1.7.10.4

Well, obviously folks who do have it in the host environment can set ASSUME_PROVIDED. I assume most people do have that installed, otherwise this would be failing all the time.

Other than that, I think your options are:

1. figure out a way to defer catalog building to later, e.g. put it in eglibc-locale instead. This would probably involve some hacking of the eglibc makefiles but I don't think it would be especially hard.

2. find a way to disable catalog generation entirely for folks who don't want it. That might involve inventing DISTRO_FEATURES="l10n" or something and patching (albeit trivial) to both configure.in and the makefiles. I imagine that change would be upstreamable in eglibc.

3. reimplement msgcat as a python script or something else that doesn't need compiling, or pull out msgcat.c into its own recipe that just builds this single file (avoiding the autotools overhead that gettext-native has).

I can't think of any other obvious choices offhand but I'm sure there are more.

The thing that does seem a bit puzzling is that this problem didn't use to happen with older versions of oe-core (in particular, I never saw it with my previous snapshot which used eglibc 2.16). I'm not quite sure what changed to make it suddenly become an issue.
