I've encountered the very same problem when trying to compile gcc-3.4 on
RedHat-7.3.  The key to the problem is more obvious in Joseph's report than it
was in my case: /usr/openwin/bin/msgfmt -- OPENWIN!!!  My system has
xview-clients RPM installed, which, among other things, contains "msgfmt"
binary, which is INCOMPATIBLE with regular "msgfmt" from gettext package.

The solution for a builder is to either exclude "/usr/openwin/bin" from the
$PATH, or to add it to the *end* of $PATH.

As for GCC compilation system -- it can be worth testing in "configure" which
kind of "msgfmt" is available, or to find where the "good" one is located.

Should the bug be reopened?
