If you check you'll find that this doesn't work in this case, for
gettext-lib.

devel/gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk has
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.gettext+= gettext-lib>=0.22
(though I'm not quite sure why that is)

but if you include it in a package, the gettext-lib package is not
installed on NetBSD. NetBSD provides its own code for libintl (the
Citrus project's one, not the GNU one).
