The problem appears to be in gettext-lib/builtin.mk. SUBST_FILES.* is 
supposed to be a list of files relative to ${WRKSRC} and that isn't what 
gettext-lib/builtin.mk is defining. I'm confused why this file goes to 
the extra trouble to use the subst.mk framework when it can easily 
generate the correct wrapper directly in the buildlink-msgfmt target. 
In any case, I'll fix up gettext-lib/builtin.mk in a bit.
