George Hartzell ffa20d2171 [WIP] Fix git gettext/libintl handling (builds on ubuntu) (#6859)
* Fix git on ubuntu, first cut

Spack needs to pass information about where the linker
can find `libintl`.  We're currently using `LDFLAGS` to do so.
The `LDFLAGS` info is pasted into the command line upstream
of the a file (`libgit.a`) that includes unresolved symbols that
need that library.  This fails on Ubuntu, although it seems to
work on CentOS (see #6841).

This change allows git to build on a Ubuntu 16.04.3 droplet.

TODO: test on other platforms...

* Add a bit of useful commentary
