Thanks Alan for this lead. I haven't solved the problem yet, but
I've found some things that are interesting.
xgettext uses some configuration files (.its and .loc) to extract
strings from .xml files. It has these config files in /mingw64/share/gettext-0.19.8/its,
which are specified as part of the package contents. Except that
it only has a gtkbuilder.its but no gtkbuilder.loc. For that file,
I have to look in /mingw64/share/gettext/its.
I am unsure why some files are sitting in that "versionless"
directory, nor do I know what package installs those files.
I also saw a note on an earlier gettext build configuration in
msys (not msys2) that it was built without glade support, but I
cannot yet figure out which switches they turned on or off to get
that to happen. That may be totally irrelevant since it was for
gettext v 0.18.3, although that version did have some gtkbuilder
support, I think.
(https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mpmkr/ci/5ca4ef0371484fb3c862285b084f7865fba68999/tree/gettext/README.gettext-0.18.3.1-1-mingw32)
I feel like I may need to rebuild xgettext with the right support
for glade/gtkbuilder, and I would like to fix up the PKGBUILD file
for it if I find out what is going on, but I don't know how to
make use of the PKGBUILD system in the first place.

0.19.7 on mingw64 behaved same.

C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\xgettext.exe: warning: file

Same command in msys2 window gives basically the same error:
xgettext: warning: file

is unknown; will try C
Same command on Ubuntu 16.04 (xgettext 0.19.7) runs this command
just fine and produces output.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Hi Matthew:
One possibility is --language=glade might be a special case where
you
are up against a soft package dependency error for the
MinGW-w64/MSYS2
gettext package. For example, on Debian Jessie the package
dependencies of gettext are as follows:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libffi6 (>= 3.0.4), libpcre3
(>= 1:8.35),
libselinux1 (>= 1.32), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.2)
Recommends: libglib2.0-data, shared-mime-info, xdg-user-dirs
Some of those are not mentioned in
<https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/gettext/PKGBUILD>.
I am not sure whether any of those unmentioned dependencies are
relevant to --language=glade support, but just in case one of them
is,
I suggest you try installing the corresponding MinGW-w64/MSYS2
package
(assuming it exists) just in case that might make a difference to
--language=glade support.
Note, I am just lurking on this list at the moment with no
practical
experience (yet) using MinGW-w64/MSYS2. And I have no experience
using xgettext. So I am relying solely on my package dependency
expertise in answering you, and you should keep that caveat in
mind.
