Add
BuildRequires: gettext
to the spec?

I'm just wondering why my packages under rawhide suddenly need gettext as a dependency ?

should i set an if condition for rawhide ?

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 40
BuildRequires:  gettext
%endif

This shouldn't be conditional. If you require gettext, you should
`BuildRequires: gettext`.

If it worked before, it was accidental (something else you had a BR on
must have pulled it in). That subsequently changed. You can't rely on
that behavior even to remain in released Fedoras, so just add the
requirement explicitly to your specfile.
