/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.9" not found, required by "gmake"

When compiling sources in custombuild, if you see this error:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.9" not found, required by "gmake"

then the gmake install on your system is broken.

A simple workaround to repair gmake is to check to ensure that you have libintl.so.8 on your system, and create a link to it, eg:

[server]# gmake
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.9" not found, required by "gmake"

[server]# /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

[server]# locate libintl.so
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8

[server]# ln -s libintl.so.8 /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.9

[server]# gmake
gmake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
