Bug 196903: sysutils/garcon , x11-wm/xfce4-panel with unset option NLS results
in GNU gettext tools not found
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196903



--- Description ---
I'm applying devel/poudriere on a 10.1-RELEASE to build packages for my 
desktop.
Important for this is that I have unset the option NLS in my 
corresponding /etc/make.conf.
During package build I noticed the following configure error in 
sysutils/garcon and later in x11-wm/xfce4-panel which are required by
x11-fm/thunar:

configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to xfce at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/wrkdirs/usr/ports/sysutils/garcon/work/garcon-0.2.1/config.log" including
the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea
to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a
/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea).
*** Error code 1

Is there a clean way to fix this, when NLS is unset?
I guess that many ports that have the NLS option will have this configure
error, when NLS is unset.

Currently, I can fix this with
  USES+=    gettext-tools
