Does it help just to replace
  #if !defined( HAVE_LIBINTL_H )
with
  #if 1

in libs/ff-woff/inc/intl.h? The reduced fontforge library bundled with 
dvisvgm doesn't include the translations anyway, so it's not necessary 
to fiddle around with gettext.

The fontforge sources must be compiled with a C compiler. Using a C++ 
compiler doesn't work at all and isn't necessary either. The build 
system should already take care of this.
