Well, the short answer would be "you need to add

SHLIB_LINK += $(filter -lintl, $(LIBS))

to the Makefile".  However, I would vote against that, because in point
of fact amcheck has no translation support, just like all our other
contrib modules.  What should likely happen instead is to rip out
whatever code is overoptimistically expecting it needs to support
translation.
