Darn, my attempt at blame-shifting has failed.

Well, msgfmt is only used by the glib-gettext logic (oh, and a test case, I
suspect you've got ptest disabled?) so if NLS is disabled then all recipes
using glib-gettext shouldn't be invoking it anyway, right?   That's my
theory anyway...  the test case that uses it is an issue though.
