I successfully compiled the original fontforge sources without having
to fiddle manually with any of those extra flags, so it must be
something special about dvisvgm's build system that triggers the
problem.

It would be nice to figure out how to reproduce the problem with
having to define "#define  HAVE_LIBINTL_H 1" on upstream FF sources,
so that the problem could be fixed upstream. I didn't need that patch
for those sources (but it's also true that I didn't try to compile
with C++11).
