    /usr/lib is the correct place.  crtbegin/end are generated by libcsu
    which is not gnu-specific (or at least not gnu-version-specific), so
    it was moved from the gnu-specific subdirs into a common directory.
    One wonders why gettext is even trying to access these files manually.

So do I. You can count on that. :) Shouldn't the "configure" script find 
where libs are, or is this something else?
