+`0000-gettext.patch` is for fixing a build with USE=-nls:
+
+```
+uuencode.c: In function 'process_opts':
+uuencode.c:204:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'bindtextdomain' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
+  204 |   bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
+      |   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+  205 |   textdomain (PACKAGE);
+      |   ^~~~~~~~~~
+```
+
+Should probably be upstreamed to sharutils and to Gentoo if it works.
