I usually compile with NO_GETTEXT, but if I stop doing so, I see the
problem, too.

Perhaps it would be less risky to stick get_preferred_languages() into
gettext.c, like the patch below. Then we do not have to worry about
locale.h introducing other disruptive includes. The function is not
technically about gettext, but it seems reasonable to me to stuff all of
the i18n code together.

Another variant of this would for gettext.c to provide a git_setlocale
that just wraps setlocale (and does nothing when NO_GETTEXT is given).
