Adding PREFFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libintl = "" makes it continue to default 
to pick gettext.  Making the PREFERRED_PROVIDER uclibc makes it go haywire, 
because uClibc doesn't provide virtual/libintl, so it ends up trying to use 
external-toolchain and binutils-cross/gcc-cross/uClibc at the same time.  OK, 
add patch to make uclibc provide virtual/libintl.  Oops, 
uclibc-initial-0.9.29 fails on do_stage for the AVR32 if UCLIBC_HAS_LOCALE == 
y.

I can't look into this any further right, because I have to finish proving the 
sound out so we can spin a new board.  As soon as I'm done with that, I'll 
continue the crusade against gettext.
