Compiling avahi-0.6.22 with --disable-glib --disable-gobject leads to a linker failure.

Looks like the library uses libintl but does not link against it. Configure does set some flags for libintl:
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... yes
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... external libintl
checking how to link with libintl... -lintl -liconv -lc -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation?
but then those flags are not propagated. The solution is to adjust avahi-common/Makefile.am so that the (correctly-determined) libintl linker flags are used:
-libavahi_common_la_LIBADD = $(AM_LDADD) $(PTHREAD_CFLAGS) $(PTHREAD_LIBS)
+libavahi_common_la_LIBADD = $(AM_LDADD) $(PTHREAD_CFLAGS) $(PTHREAD_LIBS) $(LIBINTL)
This allows the lib to compile fully for me.
so that the libintl linker flags are passed.
