As far as I understand, we already have this ordering requirement as
catgets/tst-catgets.c includes <intl/msgs.h>, which is generated from
the po file. That's actually the reason why catgets has to be modified
in addition to intl.

I can try this way. It only means that the mangling done on intl as
to be kept in sync with catgets.
