You are right, the msgfmt I had seen in the bootstrap log came from the
later build of the "true" dpkg package. In dpkg-bootstrap, nothing
should be done in the "po" subdir:
make -C "po" "all"
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
This is configured by a part of the configure script that is rather
fragile: It relies on the fact that during bootstrapping, the gettext
stuff is not yet installed, so that some conftest checking for it will
fail.
Now if the user has at least some parts of gnu gettext like
libintl.dylib and libintl.h somewhere (in the infamous
/usr/local/{include,lib} for example) where the compiler can find it,
configure tells the po/Makefile to build the stuff in "po" which then fails.
A more robust way to achieve the same effect would be to run
dpkg-bootstrap's configure with the --disable-nls flag. I think it would
be a good idea to add this to dpkg-bootstrap.info.
For the original poster, I would recommend to look if there are some
libintl related things in /usr/local and move them out of the way.
