+configure: use minimal LIBS during gettext check
+
+In some configurations, vim fails to link correctly with messages such as:
+edit.c:(.text+0x1614): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'
+
+In particular, this has been seen by the buildroot autobuilds (see [1]) but
+has also been reported at [2] and [3].
+
+In the bad case, the configure script says:
+checking for NLS... gettext() works
+In the good case, it says:
+checking for NLS... gettext() works with -lintl
+
+In the bad case, the system has libelf, vim detects that and takes it along
+in $LIBS. Libelf needs libintl on this system, and so linking the test
+program with -lelf will automatically take -lintl too. This causes configure
+to think gettext() does not need libintl, while in reality it does.
+
+In the good case, libelf is not present and thus not used. The first
+configure test for gettext fails, and then configure retries with -lintl
+(which succeeds).
+
+Until now, there isn't really a problem. In both cases, you could link
+correctly. In the 'bad' case, libintl is implicitly taken through libelf, in
+the second case it is explicitly taken.
+
+The real problem occurs because configure also tests whether the linker
+supports --as-needed and uses it when possible, instead of the link.sh
+script. However, --as-needed seems to cause libintl NOT to be taken in the
+bad case, causing the undefined references to libintl_gettext.
+
+This patch changes the configure script so that the gettext check does not
+use additional libraries such as libelf. The test program is linked either
+with nothing, or with libintl alone. This will cause libintl to
+be added explicitly to LIBS, when needed.
