Can you see where libintl is coming from?

Maybe this will help:

find work/.buildlink -name "*.la" | xargs grep intl

That is a problem with gettext-libs and Linux. It is not needed on your
system and can conflict with the functions already provided in your glibc.

My gettext-runtime package (at pkgsrc-wip) doesn't install those libraries
on a glibc system.

And I make sure the out-of-date devel/gettext* package do not install.
And I make symlinks for the devel/gettext-libs/buil*mk files to the
wip/gettext-runtime/ files.
