I don't think conditionals on the build system OS are a good idea; the GNU 
practice is to use feature tests where necessary instead.

I've been gradually working on merging the cross-rpcgen changes to FSF 
glibc; my most recent version, 
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-03/msg00375.html>, disables i18n 
for the cross-rpcgen, which might help with avoiding libintl dependencies 
there (or maybe further i18n disabling is needed as well - you didn't say 
anything about what the actual problems are that your patch is addressing 
or why you chose a particular approach).  Something similar might make 
sense for cross-zic.  (I doubt it makes sense to sync EGLIBC with interim 
versions of the cross-rpcgen patch, rather than waiting for a final 
version to get into FSF glibc and then syncing with that as part of the 
next merge.)
