These warnings haven't led to problems until now, AFAIK.

Which gnu utilities?

In the past, we had a related problem which was that some library 
(libexif in this case) was indeed creating undefined symbols like 
bindtextdomain and dgettext with a libintl_ prefix, but only when 
gettext-dev was not installed while it was built. When gettext-dev and 
therefore libintl.dylib was installed, the symbols were created (and 
found) without the libintl_ prefix, which was clearly the right behavior 
in that case.
