  ok, i just wanted to make sure i wasn't doing anything stupid. i
took a quick look at those recipes and this appears to be the
situation:

db: upgrade to db_5.3.21, keep the patch, it still applies with a
little fuzz and offset adjustment

gettext: upgrade to 18.2, do you really need that additional line

  EXTRA_OECONF += "LIBS=-lpthread"

it seems like gettext already has that covered in the source tree:

$ grep -r "LIBS.*pthread" *
gettext-runtime/configure:LIBS="-lpthread  $LIBS"
gettext-runtime/configure:LIBS="-lpthread  $LIBS"
gettext-tools/configure:LIBS="-lpthread  $LIBS"
gettext-tools/configure:LIBS="-lpthread  $LIBS"
$

gnu-config: upgrade to 20120814, patch still applies again with a
little fuzz and offset adjustment

util-linux: upgrade to 2.22, but the new version has renamed the
top-level directory "fdisk" to "fdisks" so you'll need to adjust your
patch accordingly.

  all in all, pretty minor stuff.
