As you can see, first my reply about --disable-threads and all next CC'ed

I don't rebuild everything after making libintl not pthreaded, but 
glib-2.0 is pthreaded too because of libicui18n, don't know is it right:
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0:
        libicui18n.so.36 => /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.36 (0x28393000)
        libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x28176000)
        libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x284c4000)
        libicuuc.so.36 => /usr/local/lib/libicuuc.so.36 (0x285b4000)
        libicudata.so.36 => /usr/local/lib/libicudata.so.36 (0x286c6000)
        libpthread.so.2 => /lib/libpthread.so.2 (0x2817f000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x29076000)
        libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x281af000)

It is.
There is references to gettext inside update-desktop-database.c code, f.e.
those _(...) (gettext(...) calls) and _N(...) (gettext_noop(...) calls)
Defines are in glib-2.0/glib/gi18n.h
There is no own gettext translation installed because it tends to use
glib's one.
