This advice is wrong.  Library major versions usually happen because
the new version is not binary compatible with the old, so you may run
into problems if you pretend they're compatible by installing a
symlink.

The fix is to recompile everything that depends on gettext to get it
relinked against the new version.  portupgrade -fr gettext can help
with this.

Ports problems should usually be discussed on the ports mailing list.
