PHP 4.2.1+Apache 1.3.24+Solaris 8/SPARC+GNU gettext == no language support

Hello-- I've read 'bout everywhere I could and I realize there is a ton of issues with how Solaris (among others) handles their gettext support and the fact that its right in libc. There are a number of suggestions such as using Solaris's gettext and reformatting the .mo files (tried that, doesn't work) as well as forcing of different linking options. For 4.2.1, I cannot get _anything_ to work and I've tried about everything there is to do at this juncture. For what its worth, following the paradigm that the GNU utilities use with the --with-included-gettext, I was able to successfully link 4.1.2 and have it utilize the GNU gettext over libc's, however, this does not appear to work in 4.2.1 for some reason. I was wondering the following things: 1) will PHP ever have a similar --with-included-gettext option to avoid this issue, much like the GNU utilities employ? 2) has anyone successfully linked 4.2.1 on Solaris (8) and had the GNU gettext work. Many thanks for all the input, in advance.
