When _locale became a built-in module it was discovered that ``-lintl`` was not

added as a build flag as needed. This then led to the discovery that OS X
framework builds did not have the LIBS var to pick up this flag.

Fixes issue #6154. Thanks to Benjamin Peterson, Roumen Petrov, Erick Tryzelaar,
Mark Dickinson, Evan Behar, and Ronald Oussoren for helping.
