"gettext is broken on some architectures."
"For instance, binaries linked against gettext on the AVR32 crash during
loading." 

Same findings here, but I would like to know exactly what is the problem.
Optimization problems? Wrong headers / data structure offsets etc.

A provider of virtual/libintl is needed if glib-2.0 is
used, and

"uClibc's libintl implementation is seriously bit rotted"

I ran into the same problems, fled to your proxy-libintl, but with newer OE
revisions the segfaults re-appear. In what way is bit-rot present?

We also have something else at play here.

However, your dummy gettext surely has good value.
