The short form: if a package is failing due to MKINSTALLDIRS being undefined, then you need to build it with the older gettext... > A separate 5.6 updates rebuild status report later in the morning, once I get a few more of the 11 failing packages (that are relevant to ia64) to rebuild. Three more down.... e2fsprogs, util-linux, and w3m all needed the older gettext. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to research if the current versions in 5.8 will build with the gettext in 5.8.... :-)
