Honestly, I'm not sure what to do about this.  On the one hand,  
disabling thread support in devel/gettext is an option, but I don't  
know what ramifications that's going to cause for consumers of  
gettext that are threaded themselves.

Right now, gettext is consumed by just over 1/3rd of all ports in the  
tree.  This is the first report that I've seen where threads are  
apparently causing a problem, so I'm very reluctant to just go ahead  
and disable threads, bump PORTREVISION, and have everyone rebuild  
(almost) everything again.
