/etc/release.  (Yes, this even works in zones.)

To rebuild gettext from omnios-build:

	Set the PKGSRVR environment variable to be where your repo lives.  e.g. file:///data/builder/builder.repo/

	cd $PATH_TO/omnios-build/build

	./buildctl build gettext

Say no to pkglint and say yes to publication, verifying that PKGSRVR was set in your environment.

We take 'em in omnios-build.

Weird... as I don't see any changes in the libc callers:

bloody(~/ws)[0]% diff -r illumos-{gate,joyent}/usr/src/lib/libc/port/i18n/
bloody(~/ws)[0]% diff -r illumos-{omnios,joyent}/usr/src/lib/libc/port/i18n/
bloody(~/ws)[0]%

I'm game for any changes.  Your best bet is to modify $PATH_TO/omnios-build/build/gettext/build.sh.
